It's a well-established fact that in our lives, our sisters truly are our best friends. They have our backs on the darkest of days, and they're the ones celebrating by our sides on the best ones.

For those reasons, and many more, we have a lot to thank them for--including, but not limited, to the following:

1. Being the first person we call when we have good news,

2. and for also being the one who listens when we call crying.

3. Being a permanent best-friend-residence while we were growing up.

4. Telling us when our outfit looks on point,

5. But for also telling us when that dress actually does make us look fat.

6. For being the person, we can do all our weird stuff with #nojudgementzone.

7. For retaking pictures when one of us looks super ugggggggly.

8. For knowing our favorite foods and always being up for a Chipotle trip.

9. For snuggling with me!

10. For being down for sing-a-longs in the car,

11. and weird dancing at parties.

12. ....and weird dancing everywhere else.

13. For being friends with your friends, and letting you be friends with hers, and always including you.

14. For always being honest, even if it might hurt.

15. For being the one who you talk about your relatives (ahem, parents) to.

16. And for sharing the same blood and genetic features as you.

17. For being your role model.

18. For making us laugh, even when we're at our saddest.

19. For always sending cute texts or pictures to cheer us up.

20. For letting us borrow clothes, CDs (well--that's for the 90's kids), makeup, (sometimes) food and everything else.

21. For having great taste in music, clothes, and everything else and make you seem way cooler than you are.

22. For being a partner in crime and fellow adventurer,

23. but for also being there when you just want to stay in and Netflix.

24. For waiting for you to watch the newest episode of your favorite TV series together.

25. For encouraging you to be the best version of yourself.

26. For telling you, she hates your boyfriend and that you can (and should) do better.

27. For sharing the memories that have made us, simply, who we are today.

28. For having the biggest heart possible, and sharing secrets, love and everything else.

These are just a few of the things that make sisters great, I could go on literally forever--but I just want you to know when you read this, thank you thank you thank you. I would probably be somewhere dead in a ditch with no sense of direction if you guys weren't in my life.
