But more importantly it's Rachel's birthday today!!! Happy birthday =) I hope it's marvelous!

What is a sister?
She is your mirror shining back at you with a world of
possibilities.
She is your witness who sees you at your worst and best,
and loves you anyway.
She is your partner in crime, your midnight
companion, someone who
knows when you are smiling, even in the dark.
She is your teacher, your defense
attorney, your personal press agent, even
your shrink.
Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only
child.


Rach, you have the same birthday as Will Ferrell, Orville Redenbacher and Ginger Rogers!!! How great is that?! I will eat some popcorn in celebration. Love you!!!
