Thursday Thirteen #4

Thanks to Emily for the Banner

Thirteen Things that I Admire About My Big Sister
1... Her ability to multi-task! She can have a cake in the oven, her embroidery machine going while doing title searches on the internet.
2... No matter what may be going on in her life, if someone needs her, she forgets about herself and comes running!
3... She can create a beautiful handbag. I can hardly even sew on a button!
4... She takes care of Mason while I work. She loves him as if he were hers.
5... She can tie a cherry stem in a knot with her tongue. Now that's amazing!
6... She makes awesome mac and cheese.
7... Although life has thrown her many curve balls, she just keeps on keepin' on.
8... She can drop off Jackson for a 9am t-ball game, Jessica to a 9:30am softball game and still manage to be somewhere by 9:30am.
9... She usually has a bag of Hershey Kisses beside her bed that I get into when I'm there.
10... Her ability to alphabetize the letters in words super fast. When I have to alphabetize, I sometimes have to say my abc in my head.
11... She is a Proverbs 31 woman!
12... Her ability to write about her feeling so well that you actually feel them.
13... Her ability to be an incredible big sister to me. She inspires me to be a better person with the things that she does. Her life has been rough these last few years but she has fought back and with God's grace, she grows everyday in her faith.

Angie has always made me feel welcome whenever I was there from the very first time I met her. (I even remember what I was wearing that day!) She is so pretty, sweet and fun! I am SO PROUD of her for all of her accomplishments, and for just being a WONDERFUL person even though all she's been through. You deserve the acknowledgement, Angie! I love you, too!
