No-Brainer

I knew without a doubt what I would write about today. I knew I’d write about Shannon. She’s my sister for those of you who don’t know. And today is her birthday.

I owe Shannon in lots of ways.

She was the only one who told me I needed to knock my eyebrows down a few bushels – thanks to her we no longer look like Brooke Shields nor do we have the ability to harvest vegetables on our forehead.

Circa: a time when eyebrows that unruly were not ok. 

And In all those formative years……who do you think taught me to layer my scrunch socks and use that shoelace hair scrunchie to tighten up my XL D.A.R.E tee? That's right - Shannon. We've shared clothes for many years now....leaving the XL tees behind for some more stylish trends.

She’s my travel buddy– She’s the planner and I’m the logistics person. When it comes to knowing what we're doing – she’s got dates, times and activities figured out – and when it comes to navigating airports, hotels or finding transportation – I’m your girl.

Please love our fanny pack life vests

She's my running partner.....well at least for the first 3 miles ;)

And she's hands-down my best friend.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOOKS!

I'm going home for the first time in over two months this weekend to celebrate and FINALLY meet my little fur-baby- nephew. He's getting all groomed up tomorrow just so he’d look snazzy for his auntie. I told her not to let them trim his stache too much – who doesn’t love a good handlebar mustache?!

I couldn’t end this post without wishing Rina a Happy Birthday too – apparently April 7th was the day to give birth to awesome people! Within five minutes of knowing me Rina said “I just know we’re going to be best friends.” I was a little wierded out at first when she said that. Hey – you would be too! But she was so right and I'm so glad she was – we’ve shared countless experiences and made thousands of memories in the nearly seven years we’ve known each other. Happy Birthday Riner!!!!! Can't wait to celebrate with you tonight!
