Grateful

This cute girl has been on my mind and I just wanted to tell her how grateful I am for her and how much I appreciate her. Not only is she absolutely beautiful but she has the best heart… there is really no one like her and I’m lucky enough to have her as a cousin (more like a sister… I think that’s the best way to describe it). There’s just so much to love… but I’ll name just a few things I love most about my cute little Tif:
1. She’s HILARIOUS, I mean I can’t think of a time when we hang out and I’m not crunched over laughing my heart out, she just makes me laugh, and laugh, and laugh, and it’s all good humor.
2. She has the BEST heart of anyone I know. She’d give the shirt off her back to help someone in need. Not only does she give and give, she never expects a single thing in return. She’s amazing that way.
3. She is a self starter and so motivated and I totally look up to her for that.
4. She’s not judgmental and she’s so easy to be around. She doesn’t criticize and I never have to worry about what I say or how I say it.
5. She looks for the positive in everything. She’s dealt with things that no person on this earth should have to deal with, and still – she carries that beautiful smile around with her wherever she goes and always looks for the positive in every situation.
6. She’s real. There is nothing pretentious about her and there’s never a hidden motive. She’s just sweet, beautiful, and always making everyone laugh – Tif.
7. I love how we are always on the same page. I love that I have a friend who I can call up and they’re thinking the same thing I’m thinking – all the time. From what we’re doing for the day, the mood we’re in that day, whatever it is – it seems like we’re always on the same page. I told my boys one morning that we’d go and see Megamind after school and I went to send Tiffany a text to find out if they’d like to meet us there; about the same time Tiffany called to see we’d like to see Megamind after school. Funny. And just as I went to grab a bag of popcorn and throw it in the microwave to take with us, she calls to tell me that she’d bring the popcorn and I’d bring the diet coke. And then we show up wearing purple shirts. That was random and insignificant, but I love that we area always on the same page! I drove home thinking to myself that I just loved that girl so much and I’m always in the BEST mood when we hang out.
8. I could go on and on. I just feel lucky that I have Tiffany as a cousin and I’m so grateful that we’re so close. I’m so happy that we’ve stuck to our plan that we made years and years ago. Ok, when we were about 10, and the plan went something like this: when we were grown-ups we’d marry brothers and live next door to each other and raise our kids together. So we didn’t marry brothers but our hubbies are awesome, so good-looking, athletic, and outgoing, they take such good care of us and absolutely love our boys… that they could be brothers  And we don’t live next door to each other but we see each so often that you could say we’re neighbors. Our boys are all the same age, all of them. And I love all 6 of these boys with all my heart. Tiffany is a gem and anyone who is lucky enough to know her would agree with me 100%. I don’t know what I’d do without her and I’m just a lucky girl to have a girl like this in my life. Love you little girl!!!
