2 down and 1 to go!

2 down and 1 more to go! That’s weird to think I now have 2 brothers! I guess I’m just so use to sisters its weird to say I have brothers. My dearest sister Cami got married this weekend to Austin. I am excited for them and only wish them the best of luck! Austin better consider him lucky to be getting one of my amazing sisters. I still remember one of mine and Cami’s deep heart to hearts about Austin and her telling me they were pretty serious quite some time before my family knew. I loved how it was sorta like mine and Cami’s little secret and I loved our heart to hearts about it. Whether they were on car rides to Maverick, when we were sharing the bathroom getting ready for the day, or just late night talks, I loved them! Cami is my sister that sometimes I feel like we could be twins. I love randomly looking at her and realizing she is wearing my shoes, pants, shirts, and headbands without me even knowing she raided my closet. I guess that’s sorta just a sister thing to still each other’s clothes but me and Cami sure do it A LOT! When I found out she was engaged I just wanted to tell everyone and their pet dog, I was pretty excited for her because I knew how much she really did love Austin. A few days later though it hit me that I will most likely never get to see one of my sisters get married and that really bothered me for awhile. I guess that’s the joy about being the youngest is missing out on things like that and I would just keep reminding myself that at least all my sisters will get to witness my wedding but it still just bugged me that I wouldn’t be able to see them get married to the love of their life’s. So when Cami asked me to do her hair for her big day it actually made me feel like a part of me will be in the temple with her and that I won’t be forgotten as I wait outside the temple walls. Ya I’m sure that sounds super lame that just me doing her hair changed my attitude and made me feel like I was a part of the wedding but it really did. Cami looked stunning in her gorgeous dress, cute yellow shoes, and amazing hair of course, she couldn’t have looked more beautiful. I am excited to see what life brings for Cami and Austin next. Cami is one who has her life planned out and is driven and ready to accomplish her goals in life and I know she is going to go far. I have to admit I hate living in the shadows of my older sisters because each one of them just makes me look bad in one way or another. Courtnie was the outgoing loving one in high school who had a million friends and I swear had a new friend every day. Cami was the genius. She got all the good grades and was the teacher’s pet. Then there’s Madison who everyone just has to love. She cracks a joke and says a comment at exactly the right time and you are always anxiously waiting to see what will come out of her mouth next. This is just a little about each sister but seriously the list could go on and on about each one. Its hard having people compare you to them and me trying to live up to how they were. But I just have to keep reminding myself and I actually have remind other people a few times when I have gotten frustrated with them comparing me, that I’m a different person. I am unique, my own person and not my sisters. But no matter what, they are my sisters and I love them all to death. Nothing can change the relationship you have with sisters. Sisters are just sisters, there’s really no way to explain it. They are your best friends and enemies but you love them no matter what.  
I loved watching Cami come out of the temple and only wish them the best of luck. I love ya Cami and you better still call me every once in awhile and tell me about your life. Because even though you’re married now and pretty much old you still have a little sister who is just like you and going through high school and may need some friendly advice every now and again or just someone to talk to. So I would love to still have deep heart to hearts with you and to hear all about the joys of married life. Plus to the rest of my sisters, that goes for all of you, you all are going to live pretty close to each other down in Utah Valley and I will be stuck in Tree Town by myself with no one to talk to so remember to give a ring a ding ding sometimes okay! Don’t be strangers!!!
