My sister

For those of you who don't know my sister, she is awesome. Her husband has been in Iraq, training Iraqi soldiers for the past 6 MONTHS!!! She has 3 children under the age of 7 with NO family around her in CO. He comes home in 29 days, and needless to say, we are super stoked for her and the kids. Jodie has been very strong and amazing through this all. I look up to her in so many ways and I am in complete awe with how she has handled everything. I don't think I could last 6 days, yet alone 6 months. Her husband is also pretty amazing. For Mother's Day, he arranged for a weekend babysitter so Jodie could get away. Out of all the places she could have gone, she came here to UT this past weekend. I LOVE being with her. Seriously, and I know it's probably a little cliche, but my sister is my best friend. When I have something sad, scary, upsetting, and especially hilarious I have to call her. She listens when I am in tears, she laughs at my stories, and comes up with fun things to do when it is boring. Plus, she easily matches my hyper moments. 

I wanted everyone who reads my blog to know that I have the best friend a sister could ask for! 
Love you JoJo!

Jodie was here and I was not able to see her? Sad Day!
How are people able to question whether or not Tylie and Kailee are related? They look so much alike.
