Today is my little sisters’ 28th birthday. Which is crazy, because I could have sworn that I was still, like, 27 or something.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Seriously, though, the fact that my baby sisters have Master’s degrees and husbands should probably have tipped me off to the fact that they’re all growed up now.<\/p>\n

See? Totally mature.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We didn’t always get along. Compared to us, Tom and Jerry were bosom buddies and that Wile E. Coyote just wanted to have a little fun with the Road Runner. But somewhere, somehow, at some point, we stopped stealing each other’s clothes and fighting like cats and dogs.<\/p>\n

Moving to three completely different states might have had something to do with it.<\/p>\n

At any rate, my sisters are now two of my very best friends (three of my very best friends, really, but it’s not Melissa’s birthday today) and I can’t imagine my life without them in it. We call each other constantly (Kristian calls it the sister phone tree) and I always know that I can count on them to cheer me up when I’m down, to never let me take myself too seriously and to remind me of all the embarrassing stuff that I did as a small child and teenager.<\/p>\n

In my mind, they’ll always be the adorable little blonde twinsies that I grew up with. Although, I guess I’m glad that they’re not those small children anymore. Because they used to gang up to kick my butt something fierce<\/em>.<\/p>\n

You're darn right I look scared.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
