October 13th

My friends, this day is a special day to me because this day marks the day that a person very close to my heart was born - my beautiful sister, Reyann. I know that she reads this daily so I wanted this to be a bit of a suprise to her! There are many things that I love about my sister, but most of all I love her determination and passion that she has for absolutely everything that she does. My sister is the type of person that I could give a backpack, 5 dollars, bike, and one pair of clothes - and she would be okay and figure it out. She is the most adventerous and fun person I know, and she doesnt even TRY - shes just like that naturally. She can do anything from fishing, to sewing, to hiking into the snowy mountains with no fear of avalanches (because shes had the training!) shes just an all around super star.





This year, for her 30th birthday, I wanted to bless my sisters socks off and tell her how much I love her. So Rey..this is for you. 30 things that I love about you.

your wisdom
your influence to everyone that you meet. you are so inspiring!
