Birthday Celebrations!

I love that my family has multiple double birthdays. My aunt and uncle were born on the same day, my sister was born on my dad's birthday, I was born on my mom's birthday and my brother was born on my aunts birthday. It's weird and it's wonderful. Double the fun :) Today my dad and my sister are celebrating their birthdays! I celebrated last night with my dad and his wife and will be celebrating with my sister this coming Saturday. I love our sister birthday celebrations! Every year we spend the whole day together doing fun, girlie things! Last year I was in New Zealand when Kristi celebrated her birthday in Kona, Hawaii, but this year we will celebrate together :) I am so excited!

I love celebrations! I love celebrating life! It was good to celebrate my dad's life last night and it will be great celebrating my sisters life this weekend! What a reason to celebrate!



I am so thankful for my sister! I am so thankful that the Lord made us sisters and that He even made us look alike ;) I am so blessed to have a sister like Kristi. Her love for and devotion to Jesus has been such an example and inspiration to me. Being the younger sister who looked up to her older sister, Kristi's relationship with the Lord led me into a deeper relationship with Him. My sisters heart for purity, holiness and righteousness made a deep impact in my life and marked my heart with a desire for holiness and purity. I cannot express my gratitude to the Lord for giving me a sister like Kristi. She's funny, kind, beautiful, a woman of integrity and honesty, she's fiercely loyal, she loves the Lord immensely, she loves her husband and family well and she is one who leads by example. I am so blessed to have known her all the days of my life =)

Thank you, sister, for your love, kindness and friendship. You mean more to me than words can express! Thank you for loving Jesus well and for being such an incredible example to me of what it means to be a godly woman. I am so excited to celebrate your life! How exciting to celebrate your life as you carry life - we haven't done this yet! You are going to be such an amazing mom! I'm excited to see how you will love, cherish and train your children.

May this year be filled with immense joy, peace, hope and love! May your heart overflow with the good theme of Jesus and His incredible love towards us. I love that we can celebrate face-to-face this year and do fun, girlie things to celebrate your beautiful life!

HAPPY BIRTHDAYS!
