A Birthday! A Birthday!
My little sister turned 29 today! The picture above is from a couple of years ago when she got married.
I was seven, almost eight when she was born. It was a little tough, because now there were two girls and only one boy. However, as she grew, I was glad to have her around. The toughest part was that I left for college, my mission, and more college when she was just 12. There are all kinds of experiences in 7th grade through senior year in high school that shape who you are and how you view the world. I remember writing to her in college and on my mission, but that isn't the same as being there. I often regretted that I could not have been around more during those years.
She has always had a strong will and a desire to do what is right. She is one of the most loyal and loving people I know. If she is your friend, she is your friend for life. It is one of the things that I admire most about her.
She has traveled and seen parts of the world I have yet to (NYC, Hawaii) and I admire her sense of adventure and her spirit of discovery.
May your days be full of smiles and nights full of joy. I love you Becca!

My eyes keep leaking. Hyrum, Thank You! I am so grateful for the tribute & am joyfully embarrassed to have a wedding day picture included in your blog. Thank you again for the serious effort you made to be with B & I on our elopement wedding day. & THANK YOU for the amazing pictures you took - many of them are better than our photographer's photos!
Hey! You blogged again. Just when I had given up hope.
I added you to my links...just so you know.
It is great to hear and read your reflections.
Are you ever going to blog again? ;) I miss reading your ponderings & reflections!!
