March 19th was Elizabeth's birthday!! I was flying back from Chicago on her actual birthday-day, but I do believe she was spoiled with a serious shopping spree...good for her!
I always have bigger expectations for my birthday posts than are possible, but I'll do the best I can.
Here are some sister moments that I would like for us to reflect upon...
1. Sunday scraps
2. trying to harmonize to "Oklahoma", but getting tickled everytime and having to run it back
3. straight up emotional breakdowns when Eliz went to London and to college
4. acting the fool in Atlanta traffic
5. earning a pair of cross earrings and a Celine Dion CD for eating a cat treart
6. Eliz carrying me up our LONG driveway after I broke my leg
7. having to "go to the bathroom" when it was time to clean the kitchen
8. fights with tacky ladies at Disney World
9. DISNEY WORLD in general....when are we going back?
10. pretending to speak a different language in the pool at Bay Point
11. "quiet time" at Aunt Rachel's
12. Easter Egg Hunts (indoor AND outdoor) until an age that I will not disclose for both of our sakes
13. Bribing me to play Trivial Pursuit when I had no idea what most of the questions were even talking about..."the human race"
14. Still Waters
15. Dixie Chicks concerts
16. Watching movies and almost always falling asleep, but not to worry...Eliz would always say "are you asleep?!?!" until I sat back up for my second wind.
17. learning practically every song she ever sang in show choir/choir/Jr. Miss
18. Memorizing Eliz's yearbooks ( I don't know why I did this. I know people from her high school days that she doesn't even know...this is not healthy. Just one more way I was trying to be like her, I guess.)
19. a real precious collage she made me of pictures and quotes when I graduated high school
20. Eliz agreeing to let me get my ears pierced when I was 8 even though she had to be 13 before she got hers pierced.
So even though it's real, real late, I hope you had the happiest of birthdays, Eliz!!
...and it sho is a happy day
