{Anna}

This gem-of-a-girl turned fifteen today.  FIFTEEN!?!  Where did the time go?  I don't know…but all I know is that somehow my little baby sister is a woman.  Weird. 

I love this girl.  She is amazing. I'll tell you the things that I love and appreciate about her - cause you should know her.  Trust me. =) 

Why I Love Anna:

• She is a total goofball 
• She has the biggest, most beautiful smile
• She has a beautiful, crisp, moving singing-voice
• She stays up late and watches movies with me
• When you hurt, she hurts; and when you cry, she cries with you
• She is super good with little kids and babies, and they LOVE her
• She loves Jesus 
• She is an amazing example to me of forgiveness - she almost says she forgives you before you even ask

• She asks me to workout when I don't want to - and then I'm glad I did
• She dances with me
• She acts stupid with me in public

• She is a prayer-warrior
• She loves animals
• She is super sensetive
• She gets along with everyone

• She lets me do her makeup, hair and nails and photo-shoots of her, even though they're not her favorite thing to do 
• She lets me wear her clothes
• She is always there for me
• She is my best friend =)

"Because I have a sister I'll always have a friend."
