Here's the thing, I've always been the only girl in our small family, so I'm not used to sharing. I've always been my brother's best friend, so I'm not used to sharing. I've always been the one he bugs when he's bored, and the one he asks to work out with. I'm the one he always called to get food, so when he started calling you instead of me, I wasn't used to it.

I try not to be a selfish person, but part of me wanted to be. I'll admit it was hard for me to get used to having another girl around constantly, and not being the one he goes to automatically, but I've become used to sharing.

I love the times you asked me to join Y'all for dinner, especially when it was at my favorite restaurant. I loved when you asked to take me to ice cream or dinner to spend time together. I love the times you'd come to the house and immediately come up to my room to ask me about my week. I've loved getting to know you, and I'm so glad he chose you.

You're an amazing girl who has a heart filled with love and Christ, and even though you're only a few years older than me, I look up to you immensely. You already know how to put up with our crazy family, and have learned to put up with the constant joking. And even though you're a UofL fan, *sigh,* you're still a good sport when it comes to going to the UK games.

It might be hard to admit my brother has a new go-to girl, but I know he picked a good one and I'm okay with that. I'm so excited to see your relationship grow together and to be there for every exciting moment. Just know that I'm not only his best friend, but by default, I'm yours now too.

You've obsessed over Taylor Swift with me, stood alongside me in my journey through faith, and helped me through my problems whenever they arise; you're practically already my sister, even though it hasn't been made official.

The day cannot come soon enough until I can officially call you my sister, and I've never been more excited to say welcome to the family!
