july 14th

today is my sister's 26th birthday. i told her she is no longer in her early 20s-- she has now progressed to her LATE 20s!! she's the one in the black shirt.

anna and i were the closest in age of the 3 of us. we never did really get along while we were living in the same house. she's the most like my dad of all of us; she can just tune out when the chaos gets too much for her.

she's patient. when cristina and i boss her around, she doesn't mind. or if she does mind, she just ignores us.

she probably has the best idea of any of us what she wants to do with her life. not saying she knows for sure, but has a good handle on it.

she ain't scared to do what she wants.

love you, sis, happy birthday!!
