Emily Emily Emily

Today is August 22. It's my sisters birthday. Emily. She's amazing. The way she juggles everything in her life is just incredible. She has 4 beautiful kids, including twins that she had in February. She works/teaches piano lessons a ton and is always so so busy. But she does it all with grace.

Emily is #4 and I'm #5, so naturally we hung out a bunch while growing up. High School was fantastic, because she let me bum around with her and her friends every once in a while, who I obviously thought were the coolest people I knew. We also got to play volleyball together, and those were the best times. I loved having all that extra time after school with her.

I look up to Emily so much. She paved the way in life, and has been such a great example. Married an incredible husband, Aaron, who rocked at her birthday date last night. (Ask her about it... it was awesome.) Has worked hard with every job she's had. Is so talented... you should hear her play the piano. Mesmerizing. And she's so much fun.

I love that we're still close, even though I'm still living in Utah. We talk on the phone just as much, if not more than I talk to my mom. And that's saying a LOT. Anyway, I just love her to pieces.

Have a fabulous Birthday, Em. I love you.
