Happy 29th Birthday!!

I'm going to dedicate today's post to this birthday girl .... my sister Emily!!

29 years ago she stole my thunder came into my life!  We are 2 1/2 years apart so I don't remember too much about her when she was a baby ...... 

.... but I do remember playing and fighting with her a lot with her and always being close!

We, of course, were each other maid/matron of honors in our weddings.

She was there when Brody was born and is his godmother .....

I'm extremely proud of all of her fitness accomplishments!!

We've had our ups and downs and still do, but nothing will ever change that she's my little sister and love her very much!!

On to some fun facts:

• she used to suck her thumb and had to wear a sock on it at bedtime
• we used to play church and ride our bikes up to Handee Mart to get these to use as the host
• we shared a room our whole life
• she has her Bach Degree from Hickey and everytime she does or says something dumb I always say "there goes that Hickey college down the drain"
• when she used to work at Stumpf Homes she sounded like a robot when she answered the phone
• when her and Brian first got together she wrote "Brain's Birthday" on her calendar .... we sometimes call him brain for shits and giggles
• in High School she dyed her hair black and no box color would fix it .... mom made her get her hair stripped before she would pay for one Senior Picture
