I can't recap any longer.

March 1st, 2015

My time is seriously escaping me. I feel like all the weekends are filled, and senior year is coming to a close, and that makes me so sad.
So. I can't recap what else has happened any more, because I want to tell you about NOW!

I just want to give a little shout-out this girl that is WAY special.
She's beautiful.
She's the sweetest soul.
She honestly drives me crazy sometimes.
And she's the biggest goof I know.

But I love her SO much!


And, that's this sweet girl right here.
My favorite sister. (She's my only one, so it's kind of automatic...)

And you know what else?
TODAY SHE'S THE BIG-ONE-FOUR.







This is how I know I have been
BLESSED to have a sister like Elle:

1. She stuck with me during my awkward stage. (But hey, I stuck with her too! We were both a little...odd. )

Exhibit A, everyone...

2. She can always make me smile.

It's so annoying, when I'm mad, she always tries to make it a joke. I'm like, "Elle, I'm being serious.", and then she says something so random, or tries really hard to make me laugh, and I can't help but smile, and shake my head at that crazy girl.

3. She's always willing to go on adventures with me.

These are the best kinds of adventures --spontaneous camping on an air mattress on the back deck. (Does that even count as camping? hehe)
She'll always stay up and talk to me for hours, and you'll never believe it, but she's never the first asleep. She LOOOOVES to talk. (Which is usually a good thing, but sometimes...Elliette...:)   )


4.  I know that she loves me. (Because I love her SO much.)

Even though we have our moments of disagreeing (honestly, it happens all the time.),I know that we'll end up being best buds again. I am so grateful for the way that Elle forgives, and gives me second chances, because sometimes I'm a real jerk to her.

She is understanding of my faults, and I am understanding of her, and honestly, it is the making of such a good friend.

Another thing that assures me of having a friend in Elle is that we're kind of stuck together for eternity...so we might as well be best pals...:)

I was so excited when I found this picture. It is accurate, SO accurate. :)

5. She sticks with me.
That's what is so special. We can argue & get along and still be sisters, and still be friends. I am so grateful for that. Elle always looks for the positive, and gives me greater perspective. Also, another thought, Elle has great sense in style, and helps out in my appearance A LOT.

But most of all, Elle has the gift of caring for everyone. She is such a support to her friends and her family, and to me.

Elliette,
You keep getting taller.
And beautiful-er.
And OLDER.
Please stop it already.

Love you so much, sweet girl.

Love, your forever sister & forever pal,
Addy
