Becky, Becky, Becky

Today Becky turned 25! Wow Boo, you are getting old! If I was your age I would, oh never mind I've already been your age! I just wanted to write a little bit about Beck, she was my first roommate and one of my best friends.
Rebekah and I shared a room for as long as I could remember. Something that I know I've told her before is this story. In our room there is a window on 2 walls. We had 2 twin beds. One of the twin beds was between the 2 windows and one was on the other side of one of the windows. I was a very scared child so when I chose which bed would be mine, logic kicked it. I knew that if someone was to break into the house they could come through a window. I chose the bed that was beside one window only and put Becky in between the two. That meant she had a greater chance to be abducted than I did. I know, I was weird, what kind of child thinks these things. I was also afraid to sleep alone so she often slept in my bed. But since I was older and shouldn't have been scared I would make it look like I was doing her a favor. Sorry Beck, I would never do that now! We had lots of fun nights together and probably got into a lot of trouble for giggling late at night.
As we got older, I got too cool, and we didn't hang out as much. But regardless, I always knew I could count on Becky. In high school I took French my senior year, Becky was a freshman and took it too. We were in the same class and I really enjoyed it. We also worked together while in high school. I have so many fun memories with Beck.
She is a special girl and somewhat of a miracle. She was ran over when she was young. I should say her head was ran over twice. Because of this she was always a little spoiled but we love you anyways. I couldn't imagine life without you. Who else would I have put in between those two windows.
With this being said, we haven't always gotten along. We have had our disagreements! But we always recover from them. I have a lot of admiration for her. She went back to school and I don't know if I could start all over. I think about going back to school to become a Physician's Assistant but get overwhelmed by the thought. Becky, she just goes for it.
Becky, I love and appreciate you. I love the way you live your life. I know it's not always easy and along the way some of it just plain stinks, but you my dear sister are a survivor. I love the way you know and love the scriptures. You are so talented. I know you deserve the best life has to offer and guess what? I know you will get it!
So Beck, I know you feel old (you definitely aren't) I want you to know how much I love and appreciate you. You inspire me in so many ways. I know that your life isn't perfect but you live it so right. Love you little sister.
