My sister Michelle

I don't know what I would do with out my sister in my life. She is the middle child and lived up to that stereotypical middle child wildness when we were younger. She was pretty mean....it's been said I was afraid of her when we were very little because she would bite me and she was the aggressive one. I guess very early on she established herself as the "Boss". Very little has changed since then regarding that......we are all still afraid of her and we all just do as she says. Ha! It's not usually the way of things but I looked up to her. Yeah she was the little sister but I still did. I was shy, and reserved and never stood up for myself. She was friendly and rebellious, and would tell you if you crossed her against her liking. Yeah...she was the fun one,she was the pretty one. I remember in middle school she had all the boys after her and she was also voted most beautiful at one point. That is so funny to think about now. Michelle, Michelle. We did not always get along or see eye to eye but what sisters are supposed to? It's a miracle her and I are both even alive today. I do remember a night where we wanted some candy really badly( I think it was candy) and we were home alone with a car parked in the driveway and the keys! I don't remember who's idea it was ( I'm going to say hers ) to take the car and drive it to the convenient store but I know we did and I know I did not have a drivers license but I know I drove! I remember almost crashing into a car that had stopped at a red light, but instead of crashing I guess I swerved to avoid hitting it. The weird thing was that there was no way possible I could have avoided hitting that car, but we did. I remember thinking it seemed as though we drove right through it....or it was like someone had picked up the car and had placed it in a way that it avoided a very dangerous scenario.. We were so lucky to have escaped that potentially bad situation with out a wreck, with out getting in serious trouble and with out my parents knowing because I don't think we ever told them.
I have so many memories with my sister. Sneaking out at night to go toilet paper some houses, Michelle spraining her ankle after running and jumping off a curb because we rang someones doorbell in the middle of the night and were running away as fast as we could, listening to Motley Crue in her bedroom and singing along to all the songs, her and her boyfriend visiting me when I lived in Dallas, her being there for me when I moved back from Dallas and was so depressed to have to be back at Home again. We've been through bad perms together, we've been through chubby stages together, crazy fashion trends, scary days, weddings, births, our whole life! We have been through lots and really are the only ones who know exactly all the hard times we had as kids and teenagers and what all those "hard times" did to us. Still I think we turned out okay. If it weren't for my sister I don't know what I would do. She is my sister and the closest thing I have to a best friend and she is the person I can relate to most. She has grown up to be such a strong woman. She has such great faith in the Lord and is so devoted to her family and she is a wonderful mother. I still look up to her in so many ways and she is as always as beautiful as ever. I love the beautiful, intricate bond that is Sisters. Thank GOD for sisters. Thank GOD she no longer bites me.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHELLE! I love you.
