Shelby Dawne

What a blessing to have sisters!  21 years ago today my first sister was born.  We have always been close and there is no doubt that she is one of my very dearest friends.  Not only is she a physical sister to me but more importantly and infinitely more precious she is my sister through Jesus Christ.  How sweet to share such a bond!  I love you so much Shelb and I am so very thankful for you! 

In honor of Shelb's birthday, I wanted to share a brief list of things that I LOVE about her:

• Her love for Jesus and desire to grow
• I can be the real me around her--singing, dancing, emotions, and all
• I love talking with her!  Especially when it is late into the night
• She is one of my very favorite people to shop with
• She makes me laugh so hard and I love her laugh!
• She has a beautiful smile
• I know she has my back and I have hers
• She is a great running buddy!  I miss running with her (she totally makes it a good time)
• So many memories
• She is sincere
• She loves people.  Not the love that makes you want to please people, but she genuinely cares about others.
• She is one of the most compassionate people I know  

I could list many more things, but instead of continuing to go on, I wanted to share some pictures of my time spent with Shelb so far in this earthly life:

Love you Shelb!  Can't wait to see you again this weekend :)
