Ode to my sister

My sister Nikki. The one who I call with all of my questions.. and not just my questions... my friends as well!! I can't even begin to list all of the advice, help and encouragement she has given me over the last few years but more importantly in the last few months!! All of my friends know how much I value her opinion and advice which is probably they are always asking me "can you ask your sister... " haha... My friend Dianna actually said a few weeks ago "why couldn't I have known your sister before I had my children!!" and I feel very fortunate that I have an older sister (who has been doing such an incredible job raising her 3 boys) as an amazing example for me to follow :)


THANK YOU NIKKI!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!
