Happy Birthday Sheri!

Yes, it's that time, for another family birthday post. This time it is for my little sister Sheri. I do know her celebrity crush, because he's one of mine too - Josh Duhamel. Enjoy!

Sheri is awesome. I'm sure all of you out there in blogland know that already. She is spunky and silly! She is the busiest person I know, but still manages to get it done and then some! But, as busy as she is, if you need help, she'll be the first to volunteer. I have so so many Sheri memories, it was hard to narrow it down to just a few, but here they are:

* Mom dressing us like twins when we were younger. I didn't find out until much later on that it upset you because you thought you were so much cuter than me, how could people possibly believe we were twins?

* Getting ready for school in the mornings, listening to "When in Rome" practically every morning - you sitting up on the sink blocking the mirror.

* Trips to stinkweeds to buy music and even more posters for the walls of our bedrooms.

* Every time I hear "The Smiths" I think of you.

* Making "Book of Love" videos in the basement.

* All of the concerts we went to together. Why do all of my memories revolve around music?

* Watching your first ever modazz dance concert. You blew me away at how good you were. I was in awe.

* Our big plans to tear down the wall between our rooms to make one big hangout, so we could be together all of the time.

* Cherry dipped cones.

* You not being able to eat anything without spilling it on yourself.

* Your afterschool "Cure" t-shirt. I think every picture I have of our teenage years at home, you are wearing that shirt.

* My favorite Sheri story ever - you at the doctor's office (I'll leave it at that to spare you the embarrassment.)

* Our many trips to San Diego together with friends.

* Driving to MCC together, singing the wrong words to "The Wonderstuff".

* Hanging out with you in college. Those were some of the best times of my life.

I admire your drive and your work ethic. I love your laugh and your spirit. You are such a fun person to be around. You're not just a sister, but a good friend. I love you. Happy Birthday!

don't be mad about the pictures! I posted one silly and one beautiful, because you can be a goofball, but your also beautiful.


I couldn't find any pictures of you alone. I guess this picture is appropriate. You always have kids hanging on you. That is a sure sign that you are a great mom!

Happy Birthday Sheri! - and if you feel the need to share the doctor's office story I don't think anyone would complain.

Sheri, Happy Birthday! Kim is right, you are spunky, and silly, and beautiful. You definitely hold a special place in Kim's heart, and all of ours. I hope you have an outstanding day! BTW, the doctor story is my favorite as well...

Okay, why are you still not making videos in the basement. Appropriate ones of course but that could still be fun. I love Love the pictures especially of JOSH. j/k. that bw picture is one of my favorites you look beautiful.

Brian said...

Kim and I should start making "Book of Love" videos in the basement...

Sheri said...

Brian, that whole sentence scares me.

Well, I guess I missed the rush for birthday wishes. I hope you still get this one. I have always thought that you are one of the most fun people I know. I love that you love to laugh.
Have a wonderful birthday!

Sheri, we had some fun times in high school. I haven't seen you much since then (well, you know I'm so far away!). I hope you are doing well. I hope you had a nice birthday - I know this is so late. I don't check the blogs as often as I should.

best wishes!
