Since this is kind of my journal I have been thinking about things I want to remember and things I want my kids to know about me that they might not remember. One of them is how much I love my sisters. I think most people with sisters would agree that sisters are the best. My sisters are my best friends and if everything else in life went wrong I know every single one of them would be there for me. I think once a week I am asking at least on of my sisters, "What do people do with out family around if they aren't religious and don't have a church family?" I really don't know.
Every sister has their own strengths and their own weaknesses. All of ours really compliment each others. It is so cool that God put us together. He knew that our personalities needed each other.
Cori is the head of the sister hood. We usually meet at her house. If we need help with any crafty anything she is the one to go to. Cori planned all of of weddings. Cori is the type of person that will help you no matter what if you ask. She is always the most excited one out of all of us about anything good going on in our lives. Especially babies, Cori loves babies. Cori is the one you can call for any question. She always has an answer. She is not an "I don't know" kind of women. It is the best. If she doesn't know the answer she will find it.
Sheena is the peace maker. She is also the least judgmental and likes to see the good in everyone. When one of us judges, she always makes comments that make you think deeper into that persons life. She is really fun and is always keeping us superstitious. Which is very important to our family. HaHa....it's true.
Natalie is the life of the party. We all really hate how busy she is. For some reason Natalie is the one that everyone wants to be present the most. The funny thing is most of the time Natalie doesn't say a lot. Every once in awhile she will say something funny. If she has a funny story though she will share it with every sister. Good thing she is a good story teller because I usually here the story 4 times. I am always with her so I am usually there every time she tells a sister. It is way funny. Natalie will not say no if you ask her for a favor. She doesn't know how. Sometimes us sisters have to be careful not to ask too much because she has no limits. She is my best sister friend. We live on the same street and are in the same ward. Everyone thinks we are the same person. We do our shopping together, Chores together, family outings together, errands together, just about everything together. Our husbands are best friends even. I am pretty sure we are codependent on each other and we know it is really unhealthy but we don't care. We have no intentions on changing it.
Jessica is the extra good natured, spiritual one. She always has been. Her and I are very close. She is the baby but I have always looked at her as the older more mature one. She is really grounded and has never struggled with putting the most important things first, like family and the gospel. She is who I go to if I am struggling spiritually. She can make us all stop and see a situation for what it really is. She is the only one that lives far. (some of you are probably laughing because it is only 4 hours) We really miss her and want her to come home. She is by far the most forgiving person I have ever met in my life. I love her for that.
I love your description of each one. I would totally agree and can see those qualities in them. I love my sisters too. Life would not be the same without them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet post and wonderful picture of five incredibly beautiful women inside and out. I am privileged to call you all my daughters. What a blessing you all are in my life. Now you are all grown I have a deeper awareness of what Heavenly Father must feel when His children serve each other. As I have watched you all serve, lift one another, and share burdens, I receive an over whelming feeling of pure joy.
ReplyDeleteKaty, I'm back to blogging again and am excited to read everyone's blogs more regularly. I love your post, sisters really are the best. I love that your all so close. Hope all is well.
