My Sister

  

   There's a person in my life who most would say is my best friend but that's not true. I say that's not true because she's so much more, she's my sister. Ok, so she's not my biological sister but she's close enough. When I first met her, she seemed super intimidating in her softball uniform, her "death stare"(which I later found out is just her zone out face) and she's gorgeous, which for girls, means she's a threat. But one day at church I made some really lame joke with her around and she was the only one who laughed, so I had to friend her. Obviously. I got to know this "intimidating" girl and I realized that I was completely wong.

   In 6th grade, we went to winter camp where we were thrown into the same room and got to know eachother a little bit better. A few weeks later at church, she ran over to me, gave me a hug, and said, "I'm so glad you're here! I was hoping you would be!" Now, I realize that she probably just said that because I was her only friend in the room, but I don't care, because we became really close friends after that. By the beginning of 7th grade, we were best friends.

   We had many adventures from then on: once we went to a student leadership retreat where we slept in the same sleeping bag because we were terrified of bugs, animals and crazy ax murders. I'm pretty sure we only got 3 hours of sleep that night. Another time, we were in big bear and we got to share a room in the hostile we stayed at. While we were there, we went to big bear lake, made a make-shift fishing pole, and tried to catch fish that were apparently too smart for us. We've done a billion other things together that include, camps, whitewater rafting, nerf gun wars that she wins and I almost win, birthdays, being ninjas, church, ihop, and just being around eachother, because that's all we need to have fun: we just have to be together.

   My sister is the most amazing friend a girl could ask for. She listens to me when I'm angry, sad, or just so loopy that shes the only one who understands what I'm saying. Through thick and thin, she's always there for me, and I thank the Lord for her every chance I get. Beth, if you're reading this, I just want to say, thank you for everything you do for me and that I could never let you go, because you know too much about me. ;) I love you, Pooper Scooper!
