Thirty and Fabulous!!!

My dear sister Shelly is now officially old. I bet she is tired of me saying that- but what good is it being a younger sister if you can't make fun of the fact that no matter what SHE will always be older?!?! So... there are a million things I love about Shelly. In fact- I could probably have a Shelly blog. She is a phenomenal mom and a major domestic diva. She throws the best parties and is always hosting something!!! She is the best big sister anyone could ask for. She has bailed me out a number of times in all sorts of ways... financially, spiritually, mentally--- you name it. She is the kind of person you can always depend on to be loving and understanding. She and I have had some of the most wonderful talks and when we get alone and talk I always get such clarity about life and the meaning of things. She has been through so much in her life (including a brain tumor and THREE AWFUL pregnancies) and remains so close to the Savior. She and Boyd are now in the process of adopting two children from Ethiopia and I just can't imagine what she'll do with her next three decades. (No more brain tumors ok?) What a woman! I sometimes can't believe we're related! I'll let you know when she goes on Oprah... Love ya Shel! You are the best! Happy Birthday!
