Count Your Blessings Day 14

My Little Sister, Lauren

My little sister is one of a kind!  Growing up, I would say we are like most sisters.  We had our occasional arguments and didn't always see eye to eye, but as I have gotten older, I have a much deeper appreciation and love for her.  Lauren is one of the smartest people I know!  And I mean that seriously!  She has always excelled in school and had great grades.  I remember her telling stories about her first year of college when she made 100% on almost every single Chemistry test.  And that continued on into all the higher chemistry classes.  In May she will graduate from OU with a Doctorate of Pharmacy degree.  Yes, you read that right she will be a "Doctor."  I can't even begin to express how truly proud of her I am. 

But aside from how smart she is, I love her for so many different reasons.  She is kind hearted, honest, loyal and caring.  She is one of the first people to tell me when I am wrong or out of line, but it is not to be mean, she does it because she cares about me.  This summer I had the honor of being her Matron of Honor in her wedding.  It was one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever been too.  She is a wonderful person and I can only hope if I ever have a daughter that she will turn out just like her Aunt Lauren.
