My Sister in a Nutshell

Today is my sister's 21st birthday and I can only hope to be as wonderfully ambitious and talented as she is. I remember when she was 15 and she was so eager to get her license, then soon after her 16th birthday, with her license in hand, took on the trials and embraced the perks of young adulthood- getting her own car, driving to make grocery trips for mom and dad, starting work at the Gap (in addition to taking demanding courses as an upperclassman and still continuing to pursue her passion for dance and art), getting boyfriends and new boyfriends and then going to college, transferring to a better college, moving to Austin, getting her own apartment, getting a cat, moving apartments, and still managing to stay the amazing and inspirational person she is and always was. Now she is training and raising money to bike to Alaska with Texas 4000 in order to raise money for cancer research. I'm so proud of her and I'm grateful that I have a sister like her to look up to. Regan, you are beautiful, smart, passionate, talented and inspirational.
