30 Day Blog Challenge: Day 5

Day 5: Your siblings

I have only one sibling: a younger sister, E, who is 24 (going on 25 in April). We are two and a half years apart. One of my earliest memories is going to visit her in the hospital when she was born. I remember holding my grandmother's hand, clutching a basket of violets in the other, and looking rocking in my pink corduroy overalls. Then, I was more interested in the presents that my mom got than my actual sister :P

We've gotten very close over the years. In middle school and probably the early part of high school, we fought like cats and dogs. But I think after I went away to college, our bond grew stronger. She truly is my best friend.

Now, she's up in Massachusetts, working on a Masters/Ph.D in Physics. She can probably kick my butt any day of the week because she does some serious martial arts. She's a dog lover, baker, and serious shopper, like me.

Fun fact: When E. was little, she used to tell people that when we grew up, we would live next door to each other. I would be a writer and she would illustrate the stories I wrote. Aww :)
