Sister, sister
Guess who's birthday it is today? My beautiful sister, Ali. I CANNOT believe that she is 23 today. It seems like just yesterday she was turning 10, then 16, then 21...and now this! 
To say that Ali and I didn't get along in the past is quiet an understatement. Those of you with a sister a few years apart in age may remember countless fights over stolen clothes, read diaries, and bad choices. I have never denied the fact that as the older sister, I was extremely protective of my sister and often acted as her mom instead of her sister and friend. Thankfully, when I left for college, our relationship truly began to improve.
When Ali moved back to St. Louis last year after college, I would have never guessed how close we would become. We get together for happy hours, dinners, and sometime just to watch a movie or tv. We have a great time together and I am so thankful for the relationship that we have. 
Ali was my maid of honor in my wedding and I was so proud to have her standing next to me on the most important day of my life. Happy birthday, Ali! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
aw so sweet! Happy birthday sister!
happy bday, Ali! A fellow Taurus is always okay in my books:)
that's so neat that you've become close. i was like that with my brother growing up - we were mortal enemies until late high school. now we're very close. happy bday to your adorable sis. :)
Lauren I am just reading this!! I love you so much and am so lucky to have you as my older sister. Thanks for celebrating with me this morning and I can't wait to hang out this week =) xoxo
