One Amazing Gal

So a very special gal is having her birthday today. Yup, my sister Lesley is having her birthday today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LESLEY! Now Lesley and I have a very special relationship. Even though she's 6 years younger than me, we're incredibly close. Unfortunately for Donald (the brother between us) that meant that we gained up on him far too often growing up (sorry about that Donald!). Lucky for me, that means that one of my best friends is my sister. I'll never have to worry about losing touch with her or forgetting her phone number (speed dial!). She's amazing too! She's incredibly smart (any of you ever heard of the international baccalaureate program? she did that in high school and did great at it!). She's incredibly talented. From theater to music (singing and playing) to creating things, she never ceases to amaze me. Her determination has carried her to success on countless occasions and she has always had a strong testimony of the gospel. Everyone loves her and all her cousins, nieces and nephews think she's the coolest. But do you know what the best thing about Lesley is? She's my sister. Life would be boring without you sis! Love ya lots!
Here's a little glimpse of Lesley and I through the years (Lesley made this scrapbook for me, isn't she so thoughtful?!)
