11 years ago...
11 years ago I was meeting this little girl for the first time in the hospital,
11 years ago was when my life changed dramatically because I finally had a little sister!
:)
Whenever I see look at the photo above I just smile...and laugh because the expression on her face is just too cute! It has so much innocence, and liveliness, it's Gracie written all over it!
11 years ago was when a little bit more sunshine entered our home. Gracie so full of joy, and she keeps us all laughing! I'm so thankful that she is my little sister.
Even though we're almost 5 years apart, she is one of my best friends!
Gracie has a pretty easy going disposition, and she usually doesn't show to many of her emotions when we're talking.
And me, well...I'm not that way AT ALL! I'm very easy going, but when it comes to conversations Gracie is always there to listen to me vent and share things that I just need to let out.
It kind of makes me sad to think that in just 2 more fleeting years this little girl is going to be a teenager! Did I really just say that; a teenager?
Wait...NEWS FLASH! No longer can this little girl hold up both hands to say how old she is! What in the world is happening here? haha I think that the saying, "Time fly's", is an understatement! How about, "Time moves so fast that one day you wake up and BAM, reality hits you...and it hits you hard!".
That's more like it!
Okay sorry, I'm kind of rambaling on...I tend to do that a lot. : / hahaAny way, I'm just sooo thankful to the LORD for giving me Gracie! He has truly blessed us in amazing ways!
I was wondering, do you think that you could leave a comment for Gracie, and just tell her Happy Birthday? I know that she enjoy them so much! :D Or you cuold even go to her own little blog and say it yourself if you'd like! :)
Have an AMAZING day!

Just one way of saying I love you
Gracie is one of my best friends. Even though we're almost 5 years apart she's always ready to sit down and listen to one of my long, detailed, dramatic rambles about, well...life. ;) I remember when I was 4 I kept praying for a little sister, and God sure provided. Don't get me wrong we have our moments; the bickering, ignoring, eye rolling moments. But I can always count on Gracie to be there as a sister, and I hope that I can do the same too! So Gracie, this is "just one way of saying I love you!"
Here are some of the things I love about Gracie:
1. Her talent for dancing. Gracie's dream is to become a professional dancer, and she sure has the build for it!2.Her one of a kind personality. Gracie has a well balanced disposition. She can be wild and crazy one minute, and then laid back and quiet the next.
3.Her love for animals. Just a few weeks ago I was feeding the chickens. And one of them didn't know the meaning of cooperation, soooo... I got a little upset with it. Guilty! Here is the conversation Gracie and I had,
Gracie:"Ella, don't say that to the chicken. You could hurt it's feelings!"
Me: "Gracie...it's a chicken. It doesn't even know!"
Gracie:"You don't know that. I like to imagine that they can understand what we say...but they just can't talk back."
4.Her love for the people around her. If I'm ever feeling a little down during the day, Gracie's always one to cheer me up. She'll either do one of her goofy dances and/or make a funny face. Or even make me a cup of tea. She sure is a sweet heart, and I love her for it!:)
There are hundreds of more things I could come up with, but I don't think we've got the time for that :) Have a wonderful day!
