things i learned from being in a big family.

  • play fair. everyone get their turn.
  • friends come and go....but family stays the same.
  • your sisters are the only people you can fight like crazy with, and still love them more than words can ever say at the end of the day.
  • sisters are god's way of telling me he loves me.
  • the louder, and crazier the better.
  • it pays to be at the tail end.
  • as siblings get married i just get more awesome siblings.
  • i would do anything, ANYTHING, in the world for anyone in my family. {and i know that's reciprocated.}
  • their joy is my joy. their hurt is my hurt.
  • i will defend anyone of my siblings to the bitter end. {even if i knew they were in the wrong.}
  • their kids become my kids.
  • survival of the fittest.
  • there is always someone to do something with.
  • there is never a shortage of opinions.
  • i can no longer go shopping without my "committee".
  • nothing is more fun then packing all 6 of us into the handicap dressing room and ross. {all while trying on clothes and trying not to touch the floor.}
  • i have 24 of the best cheerleaders!

I love this post. And I love you. And I love (and am really jealous) that you got to have one-on-one time with Mom. That's the best.

I hope you're happy.

And yes, dressing rooms with everyone are the best.
