Dad Was Right


Growing up I never really got along all that well with my little sister Kacy! There were times where I could hardly stand being in the same room as her, let alone sitting next to her. I feel like we were always arguing and trying to out do one another. This lasted all through high school. We never had that great of a relationship. We hung around in different crowds and had completely different views on extracurricular activities. She did her thing and I did mine. I think that we were both pretty content with the way things were. I remember my dad always saying that one day we would be the best of friends(between us, I thought he was CRAZY). There was no possible way of this ever happening. We were just two completely different people.
I moved away right after I graduated from High School to pursue my education. This Is were EVERYTHING changed. I remember Kacy calling me one night(EXCUSE ME BUT DID I MISS SOMETHING??!!). She was crying really hard. I felt a little bit awkward at first but then something clicked, It hurt me to know that she was in pain. I wished so much that I could take It all away! I think something changed after that night because Kacy started calling more and more. She would call to ask for advice most of the time but there were times when she would call just to call! Our friendship grew that year.
How grateful I am for my baby sister and how grateful I am that my dad was right. I love Kacy so much and I can honestly say that she is my BEST friend. She is my example, the person I look up to most. She has helped me through some of the roughest times. I always know that when there is something wrong or something that is AMAZINGLY right in my life she will be there to share in that with me. If given the choice to spend the day with anyone...I would chose her every time! I am so LUCKY...I have the cutest and funnest little sister EVER! I love you so much KJ!

Sisters are the best....I'm so glad you guys have eachother. Nicole blatantly refused to share a room with me when we were growing up, acting as if it would be torture....living w/Jessica....EWWWW!.....I was either sharing with Suzanne or Kara. Now we're SUPER CLOSE!
So excited for the 20th....Hailey....I will srsly be surprised if it's a girl...I'm getting too many boy vibes....maybe they're all wrong, who knows....I have actually been thinking about how boys are cooler than girls, honest, so either one is fab.
