A Brown Eyed Girl's Birthday

"God gave us the gift of life; it is up to us to 

give ourselves the gift of living well."

Voltaire

Today, October 2nd is a very special day;

it's my older sister's birthday.

She shares in my love of kimchi, 

she is funny (boy, can she make me laugh!)

she is sassy, smart, 

EXTREMELY talented,

and honestly, the best sister/friend

I could ever ask for. 

Happy birthday, Susan! 

 I hope today is filled with

laughter, gifts, wine, dessert

and celebration.

birthday but never remembers her age.”

I love you. 

Sisters

This morning I got to talk to my sister Susan. 

*She makes me laugh.

 *She is the best hairstylist I've ever had

(even when I would say "ouch!" when

she would yank my hair combing it out)

*She has always been there for me. 

*Did I mention she makes me laugh? 

*She understands my sense of humor.

*She is the only person I've let wax my eyebrows 

(I did have an allergic reaction to the wax...

my eyebrows were red for about 3 days) 

*She always tells me I'm thin 

(how could I not love her?) 

*She is sassy

*She is loyal

*She is generous

*She is my sister and my friend...

I'm so lucky. 

I love you, Susan

You know whatever you do, they'll still be there."

Photo Shoot

This afternoon, my sister and I went to Camel's Back Park to take pictures. This is what our photo shoot looked like: We found a location, we got our cameras out, we would tell each other where to stand, how to look and then...someone would come around the corner and we would get shy and pretend like we weren't taking pictures of each other ("oh look at the sky" "quick hide in that tall grass!").

We did this for about 30 minutes and then our shyness (and cold legs) won over and we called it quits. BUT I did get some pictures of my beautiful sister. 

I hope you enjoy.
