Sister in the Hood

I am loving that my sister and brother-in law moved in down the street from us. Let's just hope that they are not regretting their decision to be so close. Nicole and I used to fight like cats and dogs growing up, because we are as different as night and day. Luckily we have both matured somewhat and don't feel like strangling each other quite as frequently. I hope she knows how much I appreciate her. She does quite a lot for her big sis. She does everything from telling me to be quiet when I am saying something not so appropriate to driving me around town. She gives me her hand-me up clothing when she is tired of them and frequently checks in on me. I am lucky to have a family that takes care of me even though I am 30, yes 30. My sis learned quite a bit from our parents. I don't know what I would do without them.

Madi and Zach love having their cousin Kamryn so close as well. She is the cutest thing ever and constantly makes us laugh. She has quite the little personality, and we love her even though she could take Zach out in a single punch.

With Nicole being so close now that she is in the hood, I have realized that maybe, just maybe, we are more alike than I thought. Now that is not a bad thing.
