Sisterly Love

This blog is going to be a little different today. I will be writing a portion. Then I will have 2 guest writers. Which will be my 2 sisters. We are very close to each other, so each of us will describe the other 2 sisters in our own words.

Alison (The one on the left in the picture) is my "unoffical twin." She is hilarious when she is really tired. She might come up behind you when you are not looking and when you turn around, there she is just smiling at you. That is when you know she is really tired when she starts to do funny things. She is the dancer in the family. She makes me look bad when she dances. She also loves to play the piano. She is the sister that will text me 5 minutes after we end a phone call and to see what I am up to. If we are separated, we will find a way to talk everyday. Also, she has a really funny happy dance. You will feel special if she does it for you. She is my little big sister (She is older, but I am 6 inches taller than she is). She is a fast runner. She claims she can beat everyone at hand wrestling. She loved playing store when she was little. She always played the cashier which was her dream job. She is kid-lover. She has so much patience with them. Now she is fulfilling her real dream job by being a preschool teacher. She is one of the most loving people I know. She will always be there for you. No doubt. She is my twin.

Heidi (The one on the far right in the picture) is quite the entertainer. She acts. She plays the flute. She sings. Lets just say she is musically gifted. She loves to dance in the car. People look when we pass by, but Heidi doesn't care. She is always in for a good time. I swear she has 20,000 different laughs (ok, maybe 7 laughs). Her laughs are often funnier than the jokes that are being said. It is just really hilarious. She giggles/laughs basically after she talks. :) She is really smart. The smartest out of all of us. She got her Bachelors degree from BYU-Idaho. Then later graduated with her Masters from University of Arizona. She loves to write. She loves everybody she is around. She has a great sense of humor. She loves everything about nature. She used to write plays when she was little. Basically spin-offs off of disney movies. Somehow she always made me have the male role. What a loving sister she is. She loves her family like nothing else. She is double-jointed in her fingers and arms. Maybe someday she will show you if she hasn't already. She is a great sister and friend. She will always be there for her family and friends. No doubt about it.

Laurel is known to be the tomboy and sports girl in our family. She has been on the AYSO soccer team and several basketball teams in the community and high school. She loves sports so much that she used to wake up at 6 in the morning just to watch ESPN sports. I used to get upset because I missed my Saturday morning cartoons while she watched ESPN. Even though she loved sports, she loved theater as well. She has been in choir and also helped back stage in play productions. Laurel and I have this special “twin” bond with each other. We are 15 months a part, but we always knew we were supposed to be twins. Many people in our family and at school would get us mixed up because we looked a lot alike and were around the same height. Eventually, Laurel grew much taller than I am, and people still get us mixed up today. Laurel is an awesome little but “big” sister and I will never trade her for anything

Heidi is the oldest girl and child in our family. She always loved to be in theater. At Orem Elementary, she has been in small productions such as “Scrooge” and “Alice in Wonderland”. In high school, she was involved in many of the high school play productions such as “Our Town” and also played the flute in the play “The Sound of Music.” Heidi and I are very close! We always text or call each other every day and can talk about mostly anything, especially boys. Heidi is known as “Giggles.” She loves to laugh and can laugh in many different ways. I am so grateful that she is my sister! She is a great example to me and love to spend time with her.

For Laurel:

 What comes to my head about Laurel is sports! I remember when we were little, she watched ESPN Sportscenter. She did not want to get up early during the week, but on weekends she would get up around 5:00 am to watch sports! She was the ultimate tomboy! She would always wear something sporty and for Halloween she would wear boy costumes. Some of those costumes were a Ninja and a Firefighter! She even did not like to play the girl Barbies; she would always play the boy Barbies aka….Ken!…..heheheheh.
One current memory is watching Eight Simple Rules with her! That was always fun and cracked me up! We also went to play miniature golfing and she beat me! It was a hot day and lots of bees were around, but we got snow cones, which totally made up for it! We both got half Tiger Blood and half blue raspberry! Yummy! She is awesome and I am going to miss her when she goes on her mission, but I know she will do great!

 For Alison:
The best memories I have with Alison is talking about boys! I always got excited to tell her my boy stories and she would always talked to me about her stories. We had fun conversations about boys-whether we met a wonderful guy or thought they were “pigs”….lol. When I was in Tucson, we talked to each other like everyday. If we missed a couple of days, it was weird.
Some funny memories with her is about jokes. We have a joke in the family that she doesn’t get jokes. Even though most of the time she gets them, we still joke around that she doesn’t get them…..heheheheh. Even though Alison has moved away to Pleasant Grove, she still comes to visit and I have visited her there. I don’t know where I am going to be when I find a library job, but one thing I know, we will always keep in contact!
