Twenty-seven years ago, I was staying at Grandma and Grandpa's house, waiting to find out whether I had a new brother or sister. Dad finally pulled into the driveway, got out of the car, and handed me a stack of quarters. (A dollar? 50 cents?) It took me a second to realize that this meant I had won our bet-it was a girl, not a boy! I knew it would be (read: desperately wanted it to be)! Yay! I had a sister!
That night, or maybe the next day, I got to go to the hospital and hold her. Back then, she was just a wrinkly kid with a lot of hair. She still has a lot of hair, but she's not wrinkly any more (glad she grew out of THAT!)-she's beautiful and funny and thoughtful and I love her with all my heart.
Happy Birthday, Sister! I love you! (Thanks for being a girl!)

Birthday surprise!
I am headed off to Colorado to surprise my dad for his 60th birthday. I need to leave for the airport at about 5:15AM, I'm not packed yet, and it is 1:15AM right now. I need to get to bed! After 9 hours of flying/laying over tomorrow, I will get in at about 8:30PM and then have a 3-hour drive to Dad's house. Luckily, my sister will be driving, so I can drool on myself sleep like an angel in the backseat on the way down there. Yay! I'm so excited!
