Dear Little Sis

Open letter to my baby sister <3

Growing up as the baby in the family was always a sad thing for me because I wanted to be a big sister, I wanted to be that role model and “momma” I always begged my mom and dad to at least adopt a little sibling but it never happened.

It was the morning of November 27, 2014, that my mother received a call from her best friend Julie (Momma JuJu) at 5:45 AM. My family of four woke up, all four of us showered and hit the road by 6:15. The amount of joy and happiness that filled my life that day is unexplainable. This is the day my life changed, I became a Big Sissy.

My dreams of being a big sister came true when I was 18. Not only was it the day of my sissy’s birth it was also Thanksgiving. It was a VERY THANKFUL day in my books. I may be biased but I think she is the cutest, sweetest and most adorable girl EVER. I feel as if she was born yesterday! The amount of memories that I have made with her are unforgettable. Watching her grow up has been very bitter sweet, she is growing to fast. Some of the funniest moments that have occurred are when I am with Momma JuJu and my Mom, I always get asked how old is she? and the most common phrase is she is adorable, I automatically wanna say, I know you don't have to tell me that. :)


Some of my favorite moments with my baby sister are the times where she will see me and dart across the room saying SIISSYY. It makes my heart skip a beat. Another one of my favorite times is when I am holding her in church and she dances uncontrollably and raises her hands to worship the Heavenly Father. It makes my heart so happy.


To my mini me:

I love you more than you will ever know, the moment I found out that I was going to be a big sister I started making a quilt. I enjoyed every moment of watching you grow and grow in your mommies belly and then, you were born and haven't stopped that smiling happy personality. I look forward to seeing your bright and shining face when I come home from college. I love the silly moments and the love that you share at all times. I pray as you grow up that I will be someone that you can look up to and just enjoy being around. I hope that I can show you how fun it is to be a child of God and to have a heart of love and compassion. Abigail Jean Osburn you are going to be blessed and are blessed by your wonderful mommy and dad. Yesterday you turned 2! How can my baby sister already be 2? It is unbelievable how fast you are growing up. You might not understand all of this that I have wrote you but someday you will and I hope that you will always remember that I love you with all my heart and are one of the biggest bleSsings in my life!



Love you beyond words Abigail Jean

- Sissy

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
