Baby, Jupiter's Got Nothin on You

I am currently sitting in the library. You might be thinking, "Great, you are so focused and disciplined for staying in and working on a Thursday night." Well. w-r-o-n-g. wrong. I am sitting here listening to music, popping in on facebook, twitter, and all my favorite blogs, looking at pictures. I have written one page of my paper all night, and it's not even coherent. You might be wondering why I am so distracted at this point. Well, let me just tell you.

My sister and mom are coming down on Saturday!!

I am seriously too excited!! They are coming down for my basketball tournament and then we are planning to catch dinner and catch up and chat and have girl time! I cannot wait....

While in the midst of my procrastinating, I got on my facebook and starting to browse for a picture of my sister and me to put on my profile with some cheesy caption about how I was going to see her in two days, and I couldn't wait. But, as I began this process, I began to realize how many pictures on my profile were of her and me just gushing about how awesome I think she is. I guess in this cyber world, I am trying to figure out where the appropriate time and place for such rants are. While the world of facebook may be sick of my rambling, that's what a blog is for, right?

So, let me tell you about one of my favorite people in the world. :) 

Julia is my younger sister, by three and a half years to be exact. Look at her: she is such a babe, absolutely gorgeous. There are so many reasons that I admire her, but I will try to be as composed as possible when writing about her. 

1. She is strong-willed. She sticks up for herself. She is a strong young woman. When I was her age, I didn't really know what I wanted, so I was quick to follow the crowd on things that I didn't really have an opinion about. Now, this girl, is opinionated, and she will stick up for herself. She knows when to fight her battles and when to keep her mouth shut. She has amazing social graces and social perception, skills that can't be taught. Also, she is an amazing judge of character. She analyzes situations and is able to see people's true colors quickly. She is also not afraid to stick up to me when she thinks or knows she is right. She is not intimidated by those who are older or have more authority than her. 

2. She knows how to make me laugh. I seriously don't laugh as much with anyone else than when I am with her. She is hilarious and quirky. She and I share a certain way of looking at the world. We can seriously communicate with very few words.

3. She is talented. She works hard at all she does and dives into the things that she is passionate about head first. She works hard at school and challenges herself. She is a dedicated runner. She is a loyal friend and faithful sister and daughter. 

4. She is beautiful, inside and out. She is fun, funny, quirky, lovable, loving, talented, and loyal.

All the time we spend together is so important to me. I would not trade her for the world. She is my best friend and my role model. To say that I am excited to see her is an understatement.
