We all know one of the best things God ever created was sisters. You were blessed if you had them, & if you didn't have them, you wanted them.

Anyone who knows me knows that I have two older sisters named Tiffany & Victoria. We're all six years apart. Tiffany is 30, Victoria is 24, & I am 18. The Lord has blessed you greatly if you have one sister. Me? I'm double-blessed. By having two sisters, I have two advice givers, two confidants, two best friends, two partners in crime -- Basically, I get two of everything.

Here's a little background on two of my favorite people. Both of them are extremely successful, and I could not be more proud. Tiffany is a chemical engineer & Victoria is an international/national runway model living part-time in Houston, Dallas, San Francisco, New York, London, Paris, and Australia. Both attended Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. Needless to say, I am blessed with the best.

If any of you have a sister, I think that we can all agree that sisters are indeed the best. They give the best advice, they leave you with the best knowledge, they make the best friends, and they'll always love you regardless of how many times you forget to give them back something you borrowed from them. (Sorry about all of the clothes, Victoria!!) Sisters are the best secret keepers, advice givers, (especially about relationships/friendships), they make you happier (it's scientifically proven), you create the best inside jokes together, and they know you better than anyone else. They're there for you in the good times and the bad times, through your successes, your failures, and your mistakes. If your sisters are anything like my older sisters, they'll call you out on your mistakes, and help you learn from them, rather than letting you get away with them. At the time, I don't truly appreciate it, but looking back now, (hindsight is great, isn't it?), I appreciate it immensely. My older sisters want the absolute best for me. They both hold the spot for my #1 fan, (shared with my family and Daniel of course). They are my biggest cheerleaders. Without my older sisters, I wouldn't be who I am today. Both of them know my potential academically, athletically, & musically. If I'm giving anything short of what I'm capable of, they'll be the first to let me know. It's a blessing & a curse.

Sisters push you to be the best you that you can be. My sisters helped shape me into the person I am today without a doubt. We were involved in so many of the same things. Tiffany & Victoria both danced. But Tiffany did drill team in high school, while Victoria did cheer. While I was in high school, I was drill team captain for two years, & I was on varsity cheer my senior year. I'm a mix of the both of them. But with that, comes the most brutal, but most loving constructive criticism you'll ever receive.

Sisters can be the most influential people in our lives. But also, the most feisty, daring, and challenging to deal with. Anything you've ever told them, will be used for war whenever you're in a fight. And if your older sisters are anything like mine (when you're the baby of the family, that is), those two will band together and there is no winning with them. (You get used to it after awhile).

But no matter what, your sisters are your sisters. And you get dealt cards in life, and it's your job to manage them properly. I can't imagine life not having the sisters I do. Because without them, my life would be a lot less happy, and a lot more boring. Victoria & Tiffany are the coolest sisters I could've ever hoped for & I thank God daily for them. Not everyone is as blessed as I am to have two amazing older sisters that love me with all of their hearts, minds, & souls. We could be miles away from each other, but we're always connected by the heart. (And text messaging of course). I don't ever want there to be a day that goes by where I haven't told my sisters I love them, that I miss them, & that I appreciate them.

Tiffany & Victoria, thank you for everything you two have done for me. I am so eternally grateful for the both of you and for all of our memories, laughs, and tears we have shared. I love you both dearly, & I don't know what I'm going to do without you next year in Waco. Guess you'll just have to visit.

Hug your sisters today everybody. And if you can't physically hug them, give them a call or shoot them a text. They won't be here forever, and the time we have with the blessings we know as sisters, is way too short.
