Rachel Ann.

On Monday, my wonderful sister turns 27. Her turning that age is making me feel so old. Even though we are only 4 1/2 years apart, I am still amazed when she turns an age I can so clearly remember. I'm more amazed at how different our lives are at 27. At 27 I had a 5 year old daughter, I had already been married for 4 years and divorced for almost 2. I had a career as a medical biller and was dating someone pretty steadily.

Rachel at 27 is far from that. Still single, finally in a relationship with her best friend (after trying to date him for a few years), in the same job she's had since she was 19... amazing. I have my moments where I wished I had her life. Single, carefree, no rent, no basic bills...

But then I look at my life now at 31 and am happy. I can only hope that in 4 1/2 years when she is 31 she is as happy as I am. I met my husband at 28- so there is still hope.

But back to the purpose of this blog- to honor my amazing sister.

Rachel Ann. Child number 4 in our family. I love this girl. Over the last few years she has truly turned out to be my best friend. I love just talking to her about nothing. I miss living in Denver and having someone to just be bored with. To talk about crap tv with and just have girl time. I miss hanging out on the weekends at my parents' house and just sitting on the chair/love seats and talking about nothing. I've enjoyed thought being able to still talk a lot about life and what's going on. I love talking to her a lot mostly because I literally have no life and here's is so full of such juicy drama. She really should have a tv show about her life. Crazy.

To Rachel- I'm so sorry that I wasn't able to come visit this weekend and spend time with you on my birthday. I love you and love having you as my sister. Thank you for listening when I needed someone to hear, and calling me when you are bored. ;)
