Happy birthday to my sister, sister!!!

To my favorite sister on her birthday!!!
Wow, where do I even start? My sister Jackie Lea is 32 today! YIKES STRIPES!!!! That means we are OLD!

I love you so much deetie Lea! I don’t even know where to begin! How about “Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good place to start!” haha! Bonus points to whoever knows what movie that song is from! It’s a Sommers favorite!

I’ve known you from the moment I was born! I know I was a pest to you from the very beginning! I just loved doing everything my big sister did! She was the chatterbox in our family (and Kevin would be when he was born!) which I’ve always been envious of them both for this trait! She’s been such a rock for me in my life; sure we pretty much annoyed each other growing up (we all do!) but I just love all of our special memories! I always know I can go to her for ANYTHING! And she will make fun of me for whatever problem I am having, but she will always be there to help!

I just smile anytime I think of all the crazy pranks she pulled on me as a kid (I am sure most of you know about the big ones from FB!) mom’s twin sister Rose right any bells, plays (on roller skates no less!), book clubs (we still have our headquarters in one of our sheds at mom and dad’s) and our love for Hanson! We even realized a dream last summer by seeing them in concert at the MN State Fair, which was so much fun!

I can’t even begin to write down any more memories, there are too many to list! But most of all I am proud of my sister as she just got a publishing contract, she is an amazing author! Check out her blog for proof! Lightsallaround.com, let her know I sent you there! LOL! I am so excited for this book to be released, I cannot believe I have to wait until 2015 or ’16!!! UGH!!! I’ve even tried to get her to hire me as her agent, so I can schedule book tours, but she just hasn’t budged! I wonder why? Come on, who is going to look out for you more than your own flesh and blood!!!

But all joking aside I am so proud of this sister of mine for her love of Jesus and for helping me grow in my relationship with him as well!!! I love you deetie!!!

Love,

Deetie Ann
