Yesterday was my sister's 17th birthday party. (She's on left bottom in black). I can not believe that she is 17! Wow! It makes me feel so old and makes me wonder why time flies by so fast. She had about 7 girls come and spend the night. At one o'clock, they were still up! She had a great time. And I really like her friends.

I did wonder about my sister for a while because she hasn't been... well, she's a late bloomer when it comes to the brains. I know she's 17 now, but in her little world all that matters is school, having fun, and hanging out with friends. And to me that's okay. No boys. Well, at least not yet.

I am very proud of her and happy that she's happy. She does awesome in school, has good friends, and a good head on her shoulders. She wants to get a job in January. And guess where she wants to work... Walgreens.

I love her so much and I wish her the best in all things!
