Ain't She Sweet......

At VBS there is a missions offering and there is a competition between the girls and the boys.  Whoever raises the most money for missions get to pie someone in the face.  So, In order to make sure the girls win KLW and I searched every nook and cranny of our house looking for change.  We even took a few coins from our daddy's money jar...how could he get mad it's for missions!!  During our expendition I found this little treasure...it's a letter KLW wrote when I was moving away to college...

MAW,
Where do I start? It seems like yesterday we were going on Nature Walks and climbing dirt piles w/ Devin and Ryan.  I will never forget the many times we had to rewind the Lion King to laugh our heads off @ Mufaso ooo say it again Mufaso ooo I hear that name and I shiver haha! Who am I going to go lay in bed w/ when I hear girls outside of my window or hear music coming from the attic? I know I'm going to hate waking up in the morning by myself and go to school and driving by myself.  Our sister list of quotes will now be short.  Now, I'm going to have to show mom and dad my progress report by myself and back myself up on things.  I'll have to call you and get you to do it over the phone. =) I know I can still call you and ask advice so I'm not to worried about that I'm ever going to miss our crazy fights.  I'm gonna miss your clothes.  I'm  gonna be lost w/out the critism. ( I never critized her so I don't know what she is talking about!!) It's gonna be hard knowing that your not across the hall anymore your more like an hour away.  Half of me will be leaving.  It's really gonna be hard walking by your room and it be empty.  You'll have to come have and stay in it a lot.  I know we have to grow up sometime but I wish we could stay little all the time! Even though your not going to be across the hallway you'll be in my heart and I will think about you all the time.  If you ever get lonely just come on home we'll be here I PROMISE! I wish you the best of luck in college! You'll do great! Your not only my sister but my best friend!

I love you!!
KLW

There are tear marks on the paper...so I must have gotten all emotional when I read it the first time!  However, today it has provided me with a reminder that although KLW can get on my nerves all the time, she can be sweet!
