blister

My sister is my best friend. It wasn’t always that way, though. When my mom had Lizzie, my dad brought Spencer and me to the hospital to see her. I freaked out. I was no longer the baby of the family, and I knew things were going to change! We have my tantrum recorded on video. I was mad. However, my mom had an idea and it changed my view of the situation when she brought Lizzie home. She came and handed Lizzie to me saying, “Look at the present I brought you from the hospital! It’s YOUR baby!” From then on, I have taken it upon myself to watch over and protect my sister. We’ve been the best of friends ever since. :)

Lizzie is such a talented person. She is crafty, stylish and so creative. She is definitely the artsy one of the family, and she takes after my mom in that aspect. She is awesome with her hands. She can make anything and while she is strong, she can handle very delicate things, like making jewelry or other crafts. Lizzie is also great at giving massages. I love her back scratches/rubs.

She is also really good with people. She has a way with everyone she meets. I’m sure they are initially drawn to her because she is so gorgeous, but after they get to know her personality they are hooked! Looks AND an awesome character?! She’s got it all.

Lizzie is very generous. She would give the shirt off her back if you said you liked it or wanted it. In fact, she has done that to me several times! She is so giving of her time, talents and material possessions, and she rarely complains about having to sacrifice anything.

Liz loves me unconditionally. I’m sure there have been times when she’s thought I am crazy, but she still loves me and wants to be my friend! She may be younger than me, but she is wise and older spirit. She is so mature in ways that I may never be! She has a strong unwavering testimony of Jesus Christ and she truly is a great example to me. I look up to her so much. She loves the Gospel and she isn’t ashamed of it!

She is incredibly patient. She doesn’t get thrown for a loop when plans change or unexpected things come up. Lizzie just goes with the flow and tries her best to adjust without much compliant. She also does it with a smile! (A beautiful smile that is, too.)

I love my sister. I am so glad we are close. I’m also glad I only have one sister because that way there’s no competition for attention. We have each other and that’s that! I love being able to call her and ask for advice, to which she always responds with charity and kindness. She always turns me back to my Heavenly Father and reminds me to ask for His help.

Lizzie has always been a source of strength for me to draw upon. I love her on such a deep and eternal level. She’s my guiding star! Love you Lizzie, my sister blister!
