My sister Brittany is 2 years younger than me and I had so much fun growing up with her as my best friend, though we did have your traditional sibling love/hate relationship at times:). She is a great example to me of patience, she's not afraid to admit when she's wrong, she says what she thinks and is a great friend. She is never fake- if she's happy you know it and it's contagious and if she's not happy- then nobody else is either:). She is most likely the best mom I know and every time I look at her blog or talk to her I get new ideas from her on how I can be a better Mom. I love that she LOVES being a Mom (good thing too since she's fertile as a rabbit:) and that she still has the imagination of a child. I love that Carter loves her and that almost half of his pretend phone conversations are with her though he only sees her about once a year. She has a lot of confidence in herself and she isn't lazy- she always has at least a dozen projects going on. She has faith, she knows when times are hard that there is always something to learn from the experience and that Heavenly Father loves us. She loves her husband, they have a solid relationship and she supports him in whatever he does. Don't you all wish you could have a Brittany in your life?
More Brittany-inspired things that make us smile...
-"When bears get up in the morning" & "Good morning" songs (Carter calls them Brittany songs)
-We often have masking tape roads all over our floor for our cars to drive on, another great Brittany idea
-starfall website (GREAT fun & educational for kiddos)
-Sliding down the stairs on a mattress- those twin mattresses just barely fit down a standard staircase and it's something everyone ought to do once
-She introduced me to "They might be giants"- good running music I've found
-Me on piano, Britt singing- growing up, rarely did a day go by without that scenario happening (I miss it...)

Ahhh. what a sweet message from a sister. She does seem like an amazing person! You are very lucky...although I think you got a lot of her genes too and just don't realize it :)
Aw, Dawnelle! That was so sweet! It's nice to have great sisters to help bolster my self-confidence when I'm having a down day. Now I can just go back to this post! I love you too, and you're still my best friend! ... even after posting all those cuh-razy pics of me. Grr. :)
Thanks Rebecca for showing me how to change the date on a blog- it has taken me this long (a whole week) to figure out what you meant:)!
