Jay !

Okay, okay. First I need to apologize for not having written for a long time! But the good news is that I am ALIVE! Huzzah!! I was on vacation with my mother, and who the heck takes their computer on vacation? (Honestly, I used to.. But I SO don't do that anymore. Because it is RUDE! Also, because I really don't want to break my computer, because I kiind of need it for college. But that's an entirely different story.)

So, now we get back to the family dynamics! I thought I'd just go through and tell you my relationship with my family members. Because they are the best! So, we'll start of with Jay!

My sister Jay: I love her to DEATH! She's only 14 months older than me (we were SO CLOSE to being Irish Twins.) She's a bit shorter than me, has blue eyes and short hair that she likes to dye blonde. In a lot of ways, Jay and I are polar opposites. But in some ways, it's like we're the same person.

Jay has been there for me more times than I can count. We are the very best of friends, but when we fight it gets really bad. But the really great thing about my sister is that we CANNOT stay mad at each other for more than a couple hours.

Jay is a lot of things I'm not. Here's a list that does even cover everything:

• She is ALWAYS nice to EVERYONE
• She embraces the young child within her every single day
• She would rather watch Disney movies, or "movies from when we were little!" than anything else. Ever. 
• She is a ninja.
• She tries, on occasion, to be the most obnoxious person in the world. 
• She is constantly talking in a baby voice, especially to animals. 
• She isn't afraid to show her emotions. If she wants to cry, she is going to cry dang it! Even if she doesn't know why she's crying. 
• She is a constant. If you need her, she will be there for you. 
• She is the greatest crying shoulder I have ever had
• She truly understands what it means to be a great sister and a great friend. 

My sister is my best friend in the entire world. She let me sleep in her room when I was scared or sad. She watches movies with me and quotes them with me. She lets me rant and rave and yell and cry and laugh and be completely myself around her. She is exactly who and what I want to be when I grow up. She is a rock and she is a beautiful and immensely talented young woman who is going to go so far in life. 

So that's my sister and I. Best friends and mortal enemies. But mostly best friends. I love that girl more than she will ever know. <3
