Archives of Our Lives

My big sister, Adell, is another person I love dearly. She is not quite two years older than me, and we fought like lion cubs until we both got into Junior High; something about sharing clothes (and having double the wardrobe) brought us closer together, and we’ve been best friends ever since. When she got married in 2004 it affected me much more than I ever expected, but I am glad to say I have since overcome my fear of losing her to Clint. They moved only five houses away from me, and I have loved being able to share (secondhand, of course) the little excitements that come with having a sister get married. I am proud to say that nothing on Adell’s wall gets nailed in or hung up without my express approval first! And being one of the first people to find out about her first pregnancy is my second claim to fame. Her little baby is going to be so lucky to have an aunt like me…

Since I am just starting my blog, I feel like I need to post many different things to keep it interesting. I will probably be posting a lot in the next few days. Now, there are only so many pictures of myself I put up before people get sick of me, so I have decided to start sharing tidbits about people I love. Who better to start with than Kyle? Kyle is my very first (and last) fiance, and the man who has been a blessing in my life since the day I met him. I call him my “go-to guy” (only that’s improper English, according to my big sister), for more than one reason. I can’t count the times I have been in despair, needing instructions on how to plunge a toilet, or work a George Foreman Grill, and he never fails to make time for me. Once when I was looking for a certain address here in Phoenix, I called Kyle (in Canada) and he gave me directions. What a hero!

Anyway, I love him.
