Today is my little sister’s birthday, y’all! She is 25.
While I hate to not be there to celebrate with her (we celebrated earlier in the week), I am hoping that her birthday is just plain fabulous. She’ll be doing what she loves…attending a rodeo.
She’s gone from being the two year old that shot off the fire extinguisher in our kitchen (as mom was cooking dinner); to the 4 year old that had to go to the hospital because she stuck nerds up her nose; to the boots-over-jeans clad Middle-schooler that hung out with all the guys; to the steer-showing High-schooler; to full-time working, full-time RN student; to the woman she is today. I am, and will always be, so proud of my little sister.
This year has brought big changes for her…she got married and started her dream job. She works as an Oncology nurse in Bone Marrow Transplant Unit. For her to know what she wanted to do so early in life is a blessing…and something I greatly admire. Her job is not easy, and she has heartbreaking days…but like my dad, she “loves her job.” She’s making a difference in every single person that she takes care of.
At heart, her passion will always be her horses. Going from barrel racing in Middle and High School…to now breeding horses, her interests have evolved and deepened over the years. To see how knowledgeable and good she is with the horses will leave you awestruck.
I pray that this upcoming year is full of blessings, love and laughter. I pray that this year finds her surrounded by friends, family, and her horses. I pray that, this year, all of her dreams come true.
I’m so glad God made her my sister.
Happy Birthday, Rheba!
