My Baby Sister Turns 25 Today!!
Happy Birthday Mandi!!

25 Reasons I Love My Sister


1. She's blond...they really do have more fun!


2. She thinks first class is so special that it is on another, faster airplane!


3. She was the cutest Stony Point HS cheerleader ever! My favorite cheer was "Shake It" or something like that.



4. She has overcome some incredible obstacles in her life and is a stronger person because of it.



5. You can always count on a thank you note from Mandi for everything! She has beautiful handwriting too! =)



6. Mandi would open a Willie dog farm if Kyle would let her. Her first project would be to rescue my cripple dog Oscar! She will always have a willie dog in her lap as long as she lives. We will have to beg the nursing home to let one in. (Aunt Betsy takes in the overflow)



7. She can laugh at her self in any situation. She has taught me to laugh at myself and everyone else too!!



8. She is so short she can't see LARGE objects (grill guards) in her rear view mirror.



9. I am so proud of the kind of teacher she has become. She is the kind of teacher that makes students want to come to school and learn! She was voted Teacher of the Week yesterday!!



10. Mandi is beautiful, yet she can make the ugliest and scariest faces you have ever seen.



11. There are a few items you can count on being in Mandi's car at all times... Tanner, New puppy, one Smart Water or Starbucks pomegranate tea, random rap music, cell phone, tennis shoes, J Crew flip flops, a bag of new clothes or a bag of old clothes headed to the resale shop. This does not include objects found in the trunk.



12. Mandi is the only 25 year old who still sends out detailed birthday wish lists to her family members via e-mail. I got one just the other day.



13. She organizes each day with a list of no less than 50 things to do. When the list gets lost.........



14. She can imitate any actor/actress and always has a one-liner to crack you up.



15. I can always count on Mandi to text me questionable pictures that are accidentally opened up at church.



16. Her voice rises 6 octaves when she is nervous or asking for something.



17.On the flip side, she can sound like she has severe emphysema and creep you out when she calls with her "Uncle Steve" voice.



18. She convinced her boyfriend kyle to dress up in girlie sweaters and take pictures for a Christmas card! And he still married her!



19. She doesn't realize how awesome she is and is always putting too much pressure on herself to be Super Woman!



20. Mandi can find a great sale anywhere she goes. She and our mother are also known for returning more items than they actually keep.



21. She has never used the same bedspread and room decor for longer than 1 year or 2 Semesters, whichever comes first.



22. Mandi has the amazing ability to leave home looking a mature 30 or 13. Cool trick.



23. She loves to run so much, she will probably run 25 miles for her birthday present.



24. Mandi's weenie dogs have an expansive wardrobe that would rival most walk-in closets.



25. Mandi has a sweet, giving spirit and I'm so glad that we have become best friends. Seems like yesterday we were slamming doors and having cat fights!!



I have loved watching you grow up into a fabulous woman!

I love you Mandi!! Have a great Birthday!
