The one and only, December birthday!

So, we had our one and only birthday in December, and this time it was my one and only sister! My sister Heather turned 26 on Dec. 8.

To start out, my sister is just amazing. She graduated from BYU in December 2007 with honors, I swear she may have gotten one 'B' in her entire college life! And currently she is getting her Masters in Special Ed at the University of Colorado AND she teaches Pre-School part-time. Talk about a hefty load...and in addition to that, she also teaches the Sunbeams every Sunday. So, my sister is surrounded with pre-school or younger aged children almost every day of the week, and she is so good at it!!

She is the most amazing aunt to Isaac....she loves to play with him (as does her husband Tyson) which is a joy for me to watch! Isaac sure does love them!

Heather also has been blessed to have a great husband to support her in all of her endavors. It just amazes me how busy she is and yet how she manages it all and does so well in all that she undertakes.

Heather is my only sister, or I should say, my only sibling. It is so fun to watch how we have grown up, now live close to one another, and are both married and how close we have gotten over the years! She is one of the most caring, smart, fun, beautiful, loving, and spiritual persons I know! And while we can be so different in many areas, I am so grateful to have her as MY sister, I love her so much. I am so excited to live close to her that we can grow even more close and do all the things we have planned to do. I am so grateful for her willingness to be with us, to play with Isaac, to do anything and everything for us....it's just an example of her selflessness!

She is a true follower of Christ, and I am blessed to have her influence in my life and in the lives of our family! I love you Heather!!
