I was blessed with two brothers. Don't get me wrong, being the only girl was awesome most of the time. I always wished I had a sister to share all my girly things with though. Let's be honest, my brothers did not want me bringing my Barbies to play with their G.I. Joe's.

In seventh grade, I got my wish. I met my best friend when she transferred to my school. Little did I know, she would become my soul sister.

We had periods where we were inseparable, but also times when we didn't need to hangout for months and we would pick up right where we left off. Our friendship continued from middle to high school that way.

Our junior year, she joined the cheerleading team and I couldn't have been happier. It brought us together in a way I didn't even know I was missing. From that point on we formed a relationship I knew I would cherish for the rest of my life.

I know that I can come to her whenever I need anything and she will know exactly what to say or do. I feel sorry for anyone that does not have her in their life because she is a truly wonderful woman.

Having a friendship with her for over 10 years has been such a blessing. But gaining the sister I always wanted is something I never imagined I would get. She's the person I want to talk to when I'm excited, nervous, angry, and every emotion in between.

I am so incredibly proud of the person she has come to be over the years and feel so lucky that I get to experience this crazy life with her. I couldn't imagine having anyone else to dance the nights away with.

Sometimes you get lucky and meet two soul mates in life. One to love unconditionally; and one to love like family. I'm so lucky that I found both of mine

So here's to her! Thank you for becoming the sister I always wanted but never knew I needed!
