There is nothing in life like a sister... or even better, two! They are the people who best understand you, your past, what you like and loathe, and who you really are. No matter how much they can irritate you, you know they are always there for you and always will be. We are especially interesting sisters.
Hannah is my complete opposite and was once my arch-enemy, yet now we are best friends and have since found that we have a lot more in common than we thought. She's the one I teased about martians leaving a little surprise on the sink one night, the one who I've fought with more than anyone else on the planet, and who can infuriate me more than maniac driving and dumb boys, yet who can make me feel more at home and happy than any other soul alive. She's the one who fought with me in front of the bishop to my greatest humiliation, the one who laughs at my utterly blond rediculousness, remembers me getting gum stuck all over my hands and face in the back of dad's car one day, the one who fights with me over what to name the truck and who's it is, the one who loves to leave the library with towering stacks of fantastic books giggling over who might see us and think we're book nerds, well, we are! She loves to go with me to antique shops and look at the old books and piano music with aging pages that smell of old dreams come true and young girls' hopes. Who better to count with? I love her with my whole soul and laugh at the many many times I was sure we'd never talk again and that we'd always share a perfect hatred for each other.
Kelsey, on the other hand, is more like me. In a lot of ways she resembles me, not only in looks, but also in personality. While Hannah is a crazy social butterfly and a crazy flirt, Kelsey is more quiet and reserved. While Hannah wants to excel in drama, music and singing, is a beautiful actress and loves poetry, Kelsey wants to save all the dogs and birds, be a marine biologist and gets pretty near perfect grades. She loves many of the things that I do, such as animals, drawing, painting, playing in the band, marching band, going running, being outdoors and active, etc. She's also the world's sweetest person. She's a great peacemaker. When Hannah and I fought, Kelsey tried to calm us down and help us understand eachother. She's the silly one who flops out of bed in the night, crawls across the floor, flips on the light and climbs back in fast asleep, leaving me on the top bunk to try to figure out why there's suddenly a burst of light and no desire to leave the warm covers and kill it. She goes running with me and listens to funny music like jazz and other odd stuff I've never heard. She could probably save the world with her big heart and loves to volunteer at the animal shelter. She's more patient than you'd think is possible and is quite the little lady.
You know life is good when you have two of your favorite people in the world to tell your secrets, your problems, your sad stories, and your good news. I can't wait til Christmas to visit them!
