Happy Birthday Summy!

It’s my sister Summer’s birthday today! We are closest in age, and probably closest in personalities…which means we didn’t like each other all of the time until we were adults.  We fought physically on a regular basis all of our childhood.  She always got in trouble because I was the youngest she was the loudest.

We were probably 5 and 3 or 6 and 4 in this picture (I’m on the right):

We watched Teen Wolf on a regular basis in middle school and we can follow up each others Teen Wolf lines like no one else (literally…no one else ever knows what I’m talking about).  In high school we moved on to the Salt n’ Pepa “Shoop” dance, which we practiced most days after school before our volleyball and basketball games.

We don’t look all that much alike (and have opposite body types), but we have similar mannerisms, so people can tell we are sisters right away.  We can be incredibly stupid when we’re together and we often laugh uncontrollably at absolutely nothing.  She lives across the country from us, and while we see each other 1-3 times/year, it never seems like enough.
