Built in friends...week #8

My sisters, the ones with whom I can burst into random song, stay up til 2 am having a heart to heart, ask for advice on wardrobe decisions, borrow their belts and sweaters, join for picnics and spur of the moment shopping trips....
There are six of us, and never a dull moment when we are together. When I lived in Colorado I would tell people they would know me better if they saw me with my sisters. They bring out the goofy side of me. I might be the oldest, but I have gained much wisdom from them, been challenged and grown because of them.
I love piling on the couch with them, flopping on their beds beside them, taking a hike, riding a bike, and those moments with Julie of "clap, clap, motivation" which go no where.
One night when I was temporarily moved back in with Julie (thanks for begrudgingly sharing your space for a couple of months) we laid in bed and interpreted dreams for each other.
I am about to become Mindy's roommate. I've never really shared a room with any of my sisters except the above mentioned, but that was her own space, not really a 'shared' space. I'm looking forward to it! I guess I did share when we were very small...but then there were brothers in there too.
My sisters and I all tend to be pretty different and independent- but this we share: Love for Jesus, humor, and creativity.
Love you all - Christy, Julie, Mindy, Renae and Emily!

it's not too late to join the challenge! We are on week 8, but it will continue until next September! My friend Carrie and I are doing it..and we would love to have you with us!
