Happy Birthday Lara!


My sister Lara's 31st birthday is Tomorrow. Try as I might, this post will not do her justice. Those of you who know her, or have met her know what I mean. She is a rare beautiful soul. I am inspired by her in so many ways. As a Christian she is a humble servant. As a wife she is loving and devoted. As a mother she is selfless and fun. As a daughter she is respectful and obedient. As a sister she is a teacher and confidant. As a friend she puts thought and care into each word she speaks so as to be both honest and caring at the same time. If I could just be half the woman she is, my aspirations would be fulfilled. Life would be so different without her, and I thank God everyday for our relationship. Happy Birthday "wa-wa", I love you!

I love the pictures of you and your sis. I feel the same way about my big sis! We are 12 years apart in age so just in the last few years have we really became friends that talk about "real" stuff and it is such a blessing.

Your words are so wonderful, and you are more like your sister than you give yourself credit for! I too love both pics, but especially the recent one! Happy Birthday Lara!!!

Thanks Andrea for those kind words! (And thanks to everyone else who wished me a happy birthday)! How sweet of you! You should know that you are a unique and beautiful person. I am always especially touched by your thoughtfulness. Bethany is right, you give yourself way too little credit (and me too much)! You're AWESOME and my life would never be the same without the blessing of you.

Hi Andrea. I am Angela (Party of Five). Bethany got me into to blogging and when we went to dinner she told me about your blog and so I am checking it out. Love the picture of you and your sister. You are both beautiful. I always wanted a sister, but my brother and I are close.
