My sister and I are opposites in a lot of ways. I'm 5'8 and she's 5'2. She's a redhead and I'm not. She wears glasses, me 20/20. She got married young and had 4 kids. I got married at 27, divorced at 29 and am still waiting on my first kid. She's a crunchy, very liberal, Democratic pseudo-hippie type. (Said with all the love in the world sis. LOL!) I'm just a bit more conservative in my views. In spite of our differences, she is my best friend. I'm sure there are still days when we drive each other crazy but all in all I can't imagine life without her. Carla has 4 children whom I adore and speak of frequently here. Check out their adventures at her blog The Tales of the T's.We'd always planned for her to be in the delivery room when I gave birth. But since my path took me down a different road to motherhood, our plan is for her to accompany me to China so that she can still share this experience with me. There's no one I want there more. In a perfect world, my other best friend, Lisa, will get to go too. That would be like winning the lottery for me to have both of them there to share this great travel adventure with. And for them to witness that moment when Mia is finally placed in my arms. Sigh....
I hope you have a great day sis... even though you have to work. Happy Birthday & I love you!

Sounds like you couldn't have a better person to share your adventure with!
I'm looking at the picture and thinking "what a great picture of the 2 of you" and then I start looking at the background and notice someone has a front door just like mine....then I notice that IT IS MINE!!! The picture was taken at our first cousin get together back in July. I wondered why Carla had on a sleeveless shirt on her birthday!! LOL. Happy Birthday, Carla!!!

That is so nice! My sister wanted to be there in the delivery room and um NO! Anyway, I ended up having 2 c-sections so I didn't have to enforce my wishes! That will be great for you if both of them get to travel with you! That would be so much fun!
Happy B-day to your sis! I always wish that I had a sister!!
