Yes Megan is my sister, but since we haven't lived in the same house we have become great friends :) Where do I start... when we were kids we loved to play barbies, my little ponies, house, dress up, cowboys and indians, kick the can, hide and seek, capture the flag but most of all we played together. Don't get me wrong we still fought...it was mostly me doing something to Megan and then her telling on me. As we got older it was still the same, I would do something I wasn't supposed to and then I would have to beg Megan to not tell on me. :)
Now that we are "adults", married and pregnant, we have grown to appreciate each other and our differences. Even though we are sisters and only a year apart we are very different people. For instance I like to be outside (summer only, I hate winter), hiking, camping, walking, swimming... whereas Megan would love to lay oustide on a blanket and read a book (summer only as well).
Our differences hasn't stopped us from going on vacations together with though :) A few years ago Megan and Ivan came to Spokane and we decided we would take a few days and drive to Seattle and then the Oregon Coast. We had a blast, except we said we were going to camp every night and we ended up camping one night (all of us in one tent), and then staying in hotels the rest of the nights. We didn't plan that trip well, but we still had a blast. Luckily our husbands really like each other! Then we planned a trip to Hawaii for Brandy's wedding, Ivan got shipped to Iraq so he didn't get to go, but my parents went also. We had a great time there too. For the most part we all got a long and did everything we all wanted to do. It is hard to go on trips with your family as an adult because usually everyone wants to do something different, but we still had the time of our lives :)
The most recent trip I took was to Germany to see Megan and Ivan (and to deliver her cats to her). It was great! I love Germany and I am jealous that Megan gets to live there :) (more about the Germany trip in the next blog).
Megan is the most loving, sincere, selfless person I know (almost the exact opposite of me:), and I love that she is my sister. Even though we are so different and we can only stand each other for a few days I know that if I need her for anything she will come running pushing everyone else aside to get to me. I love you Megan and miss you everyday!
