congrats, baby sister!

I just wanted to take a moment to congratulate my Pixie upon her graduation from Black Hills State University!!!

I am so proud of her for her perseverance in spite of big transitions in the process. But five years, three colleges, and three states later, she has apprehended her diploma and is officially DONE!

Amber, to honor you via my beloved blog, I wanted to post a photographic tribute of you, my dear.

Don’t kill me!

My sister is the primary source of entertainment for my family. We have laughed until we’ve cried at her antics and character impersonations…

She embodies what it means to have fun girl time…

She supports and encourages me…

She’s intelligent and creative…

She knows she’s cute…

And she can seriously glam it up (she taught me how to do my makeup)…

She’s athletic and sporty (and she loves her brother)…

She’s down to earth and easy to be with…

She pouts when she doesn’t get her way…

And is such a HAM…

And, although she’s only had limited time with her new niece, she loves little Alana!

Offically your best blog post EVER! Well, sure it was about me, but I mean really!… You are so incredible Heather. You have a way of saying exactly what means the most to people. Namely me. I always feel complete love, total appreciation and more than pride from you my wonderfully sweet sister. You have a gift – making people feel special to you – and that is something that a lot of people strive for. I mean, look at you! Who wouldn’t want to be your friend? Back to those serious notes: Thank you. I love and miss you so much too. I cannot wait to be closer to you and to precious Wana. And my brother in law ain’t so bad neither. I feel so loved. Thank you for the photo tribute. I ain’t always purdy, but boy can I make em laugh! Loves to you my beautiful smeather (heater doy). You are still the most precious thing in my life after all these years – and it is getting sweeter. I love you.

Heather,
That was a very wonderful and loving tribute to your sister.
Amber,
Congrats on your Graduation dear cousin. I have always enjoyed having you two as part of my family. I wish we all lived closer so we could spend more time together. Take care.
