Today is my big sisters birthday. I have posted so many times about her because so much of who I am is from being her younger (but not smaller) sister. I have SO many great childhood memories of Sherry. **This picture is of my Grandma Giboney with Sherry and I when I was a brand new baby**
Here are a few of my all time favorites:
Christmas Presents: When Sherry and I were in high school (her senior year my sophomore year) we decided to buy each other presents. In our family we draw names and only get 1 sibling a present (there are just way too many of us to buy for everyone) but we decided on our own to get each other something. Sherry kept talking about how excited she was to share the present she was buying me and led me to believe that she was buying me a sweet new jean mini skirt. I was STOKED! So I spent a big chunk of my babysitting money at Dillard's and bought her a Liz Claiborne wallet. Christmas morning came and we opened our presents. Sherry loved her wallet and when I opened my present to my utter surprise it was NOT the sweet mini I was hoping for but the Dirty Dancing cassette tape.
Money: One time we were riding home and I was on the back of the banana seat bike with her when I spotted a $20 bill on the side of the road. Sherry came to a VERY fast stop and we skidded out on the cinder (little black very sharp rocks instead of salt for snowy roads that took forever to wash away in the spring). I went flying off the bike and scraped up my knees and face pretty good. Sherry kept the $20 since she was "older" and I think she still owes me $10!
Sherry is my idol!!! If you know her you know that she truly is AMAZING and can do EVERYTHING. I am so grateful for the influence she has been in my life and continues to be even though we live way too far apart.
I never would have done anything this crazy without Sherry.
