(Since I composed a list for Ben, and since I am horrible with sending cards in a timely fashion---if at all---I decided to do the same for my one and only sister on her birthday!)
Laura and I are about as different as two sisters can be. However, there is a lot that I admire, respect, and love about this girl. Today at 11:00 pm EST, she turns 22 years old.
To my sister, on her birthday...
22 Things I Love About,
Laura Happnie
1. Of the two of us, she was definitely the cuter baby.
2. Laura is smart; the smartest in our family! She will soon complete her Bachelor's degree in secondary education...art major with a minor in math.
3. She is a very talented artist. She can paint, draw, and has an amazing eye for photography.
4. She is an amazing aunt! Jocee completely adores her! This is mainly because, they are so incredibly alike.
As Laura would say, "We are twins. Just born at different times."
5. Laura is hilarious! Anyone who knows her would agree.
6. I really love her fashion sense...90% of the time.
And the other 10%...she doesn't care!
7. She doesn't care what other people think...ever!
(Like when I relentlessly begged her to grow her bangs out. She may be growing them out now, but only because she wants to.)
8. She speaks her mind, and is never hesitant to put someone in their place.
9. She started wearing big sunglasses before they were trendy.
10. She is always there for her friends.
11. She loves animals...any and all!!
And they love her...
12. I admire Laura's ability to live in the moment. She is only concerned with the "here and now."
13. She lives without regret.
14. Laura is fearless. Almost nothing scares her.
15. She is open-minded. She'll try almost anything once.
16. Laura is a free-spirit. She is a bit of a hippy.
17. ....and a tree-hugger, and a PETA activist.
18. She has the prettiest, naturally thick, naturally blonde hair that I've always been jealous of.
19. It's safe to say that Laura is somewhat of an extremist. When she commits to something she embraces it wholeheartedly.
20. Laura is creative, and has an extremely expressive personality.
21. She is adventurous, and likes to make everything fun.
22. Laura will always be young at heart!
Happy Birthday, Laura!
Thank you, for being my sister!
Thank you, for being such a good auntie to my girls!
Thank you, for always being who you are!
