A Very Family Post

Yesterday was my little (and by little I mean 5'5" younger sister) sister's 15th birthday!!! When I arrived at the house for her party, she was watching home videos of herself as a 1 year old. Boy was she a cute baby. She also got her learner's permit yesterday, so look out world! :) It's so weird to think of her being old enough to drive. But apparently she is and I just have to face facts. She was making me laugh though because she was the same old Daynah :)! Giggling her way through opening presents, pointing out that she was taller than me, repeating things over and over and over and over just to see if I would keep responding, and attaching herself to my hip because she loves me so much (well, at least I think she does). I don't know how much I have mentioned it, but I love being a big (and by big I mean a 4'11 1/2" older sister) sister. God blessed me through my younger siblings and I cannot wait to see the woman He is going to turn Daynah into.

I took today off in order to head up to Chicago a little early to spend time with my family. My cousin is in town from Maryland, another cousin is having a brunch on Sunday for his college graduation, and I realized that I haven't been up to see my mom since Christmas! So, it will be a fun time of spending time with family and being able to catch up. And shopping because I can't go to see my mom without shopping (she even told me that my grandma said I must need some new things because we shop every time I go to see her!). Anyway, I need to get going so that I actually get there early and not right during rush hour!
