Hey There,
Guess what? I love you guys with all of my heart. I know that we fight, yell and rough-house all the time, but underneath it all I couldn't imagine life without you. You guys make bad days better and you can make me smile when all I want to do is cry. This summer is going to change a lot of things. One of us is getting married and I'm working full time. It feels like years since we've had a summer full of adventures, amusement parks and camps.
You guys made for the best childhood a girl could ask for. Every scar from our adventures of pretend is a wonderful memory. Even if it was great pain at the time.
Honestly, one of the hardest parts of going to school in Arkansas is leaving you guys. I've missed band competitions, first dances and awkward middle and high school years. I miss you guys every minute that I'm gone, but I know that leaving is part of growing up. (Even if I miss you growing up while I do it.) I can't believe how old we are all getting. It feels like the younger two should still be in diapers, but instead we're off planning careers, getting married and being students.
I am so thankful to be in our family. You are the cause for so much of my growth. You have helped mold me into the person you know (and most of the time) love today. Nights when our family is just a little extra crazy I can count on one of you guys to understand why I am so upset. You know why some uncomfortable topics for other families aren't uncomfortable for us. Also, when I say that enchilada ring is on the menu for dinner, you don't look at me like I'm absolutely insane.
Thank you for the crazy uses of Snapchat filters and videos. Obviously I've always wanted to see a face swap of a 13-year-old and a 21-year-old's faces. Every picture you send to me makes me feel like I'm there with you. Trust me, the day will come where you guys miss home as much as I do.
I am eternally jealous of your amazing people skills, good looks and your stinking height. Somehow, out of the four of us, I ended up the shortest. You guys have always had more friends, better looks and crazy adventures. I will be thankful for the day I stop hearing, "Cassandra, don't you think I could be a model?" Not because you aren't qualified for the job, but I got all the potato genes and you got all the cute genes.
That all being said. Nobody has every made me laugh harder, taken me down a notch or make me prouder. Thanks for being you, because I wouldn't be me without you.
Y'all are great, and I'll never stop loving you.
