Sisters.
They are God's gift to you as you are to them.
I don't know what I would do without mine. They have always been there and so many of my favorite memories were made with them by my side.
The years have passed and we are not little girls arguing over who gets to sit in the front seat. We are not little girls having slumber parties together taking turns reading our journals. In fact, we don't even live together any more and our times together are way too short and far between. But, despite the distance and changes in our lives, my sisters are my closest friends. Their joys are my joys and their sorrows as well.
This past week, my youngest sister - the one whom just yesterday, Brooke and I referred to as being "SOOO twelve" - was engaged. How did this happed? Where did the years go? How is my baby sister going to be getting married? Yet, she is.
Next summer, she will be marrying the guy whom she thought was cute the moment she saw him at college registration. And it will be another great memory made. And Brooke and I will be there, smiling through our tears, and thanking God for the wonderful gift of sisters.
I love you, Lauren and am so happy for you and Matthew. You make a wonderful couple and I look forward to the upcoming months of wedding planning!
Wow! Congratulations to Matt and Lauren!
