Just a Quick Note

I hope that everyone who was able to go to the party for Katie had a great time!! i wish that I could have been there, I really wanted to see her before she left, I can only hope she knows that I am thinking of her and supporting her every step of the way!!

On another note, i was thinking the other day about how brave Katie is to do this, and I thought back to another time in our lives when one could say that she had a little more courage than sense!! She is going to absolutely hate me for telling his story, but i can't help it, it is a fond memory from my childhood! I once told Katie that I wanted to learn karate and I needed her help to do. I told her to stand still while i used my leg to swep her feet out from under her- she was reluctant, but as the older sister I was able to persuade her to do it! Needless to say her feet came out from under her and down she went!!;) Anyway, that was not the last time she did that for me- did zI really want to learn karate? NO! I was a big sister torturing my little sister, and every once in awhile throughout the next year or so i would have her just stand there while I did it again!! Anyway, I am sorry KT! In hindsight, it was not nice, but I sure thought it funny at the time!!

I am so glad that we have become close now that we are older, and can't wait to be here however she needs for always! What are big sisters for if not that? And a little torture of course!! Maybe next time I'll talk about the time we strapped her to a chair when we had a babysitter! or the victory dance we made up one night when we were bored! All stories that will amuse those who know her, and make those who may not know her, want to!!

More to come soon, Katie is off in a mere two weeks I think!! SCARY!!

By the way, I would like to acknowledge the very nice things that Katie said about me, but there is no response- you made me teary eyed KT, but you have to know that there is nothing I would rather do than support you, and I only hope the little pieces of info and advice I gave were helpful!! Love You!!
