Ready to fly: Sister Mine ...

I couldn't imagine going through life without my sister. My sister makes any day better - even when you think that's not possible. Sisters are the kind of best friends that know your every thought and can relate to exactly how you feel - whether you're happy or sad. Or at least that's how it is for me and my little sister. She's my best friend, encourager, tell-it-like-it-is pal, motivator, listening ear, bawl baby, partner-in-crime, know-it-all, advice-giver, fun-making, clothes-stealing, accessory-sharing, sunglasses-loving, always there girl. Like it or not, a sister is a forever best friend. Thank God for that!

I'm so thankful for Holley. When no one else understands me - she does. We can get mad at each other, yell our heads off, hang up on each other, storm out of the room, want to knock each others heads off ...but, hey, that's normal. If you have a sister, you know exactly what I mean. I love that even though we are far apart right now we can pick up the phone and call each other - only to find out we're hungry for the same thing or thinking about something totally similar.

Growing up, Holley and I would watch White Christmas over and over and over. Our favorite thing to do was to reenact the "Sisters, Sisters" song and dance. To this day, these lyrics are sooooo the Nees sisters.

Sisters, Sisters
There were never such devoted sisters

Never had to have a chaperone "No, sir"
I'm there to keep my eye on her

Caring, Sharing
Every little thing that we are wearing

When a certain gentleman arrived from Rome
She wore the dress and I stayed home

All kinds of weather
We stick together
The same in the rain or sun
Two diff'rent faces

But in tight places

We think and we act as one

Those who've, seen us
Know that not a thing could come between us

Many men have tried to split us up but no one can
Lord help the mister

Who comes between me and my sister

And Lord help the sister

Who comes between me and my man

Never seen the movie - check out our favorite scene below. LOVE.

If I had to pick something I love most about having a sister, I think I'd have to say it's this. You can appear in control, grown up and in charge to the rest of the world. But with seeesters, anything goes and you can act/be any age you want. We've been through every moment in life together - good and bad, happy and sad. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
