I've been missing my sister so much lately. She just has four and a half months left! Some moments of Keely.
-Four-wheeling down dirt roads and past farms at Grandma's house belting Dixie Chicks. We could never remember the beginning to Cowboy Take Me Away and we'd always argue about the lyrics. p.s. I was right on the lyrics, we looked them up.
-Snowmobiling at Fish Lake with her screaming her head off behind me when I drive. Really, I don't go that fast.
-Sleepovers, talking late in the night when she came home from college.
-Playing Barbie's with me, then getting bored and making me angry when she started being slightly mocking in her play. She was never a doll person and I was. Which is odd because now dolls mortally freak me out.
-Girls camp with Mom when we were like eight and ten and hearing about "super laurels". Random memory.
-Montana with Dad and Mom, sitting on the dock watching the sunset after the hours and hours of sitting in the car. And oh my gosh, Custard's Last Stand. Biggest waste of a drive evah.
-Talking with her about school, life and how dumb people my age were. I put the blame on her for making me not like people my age and always having people older than me as friends.
-NSYNC*
-haha listening through the doorway of her and Katie talking about the movie It because they thought it'd scare me. Little did they know.
-Watching Anastasia at the theater with her and Jeanette. That's the first movie I remember seeing in the theaters. We were late and on the front row.
-Las Vegas with the Judds. Just me and her on the plane. Making movies with the trolls, newscasts and "Coga", much cooler than Yoga. What was with us and wheelchairs that trip?
-haha Keely falling off the top of the bunk bed on top of the record player and not waking up.
-Her night terrors she has when she screams my name and I can't wake her up. Some of the most terrifying moments of my life.
-The Barbie card dream she had with the guy from Rigoletto.
-Prank wars. Me and Hedi vs. Keely and Courtney.
-Selling lemonade. That one time where I got a dollar from the UPS guy just for being so cute. Everyone wanted to divide that dollar but Keely thought I should keep it because he gave it to me specifically. She's got my back.
-That snowboarder she made for me out of clay. It just let me know that she knew I was my own person and supported it. I bet she never even though of it that way.
-She gave me the shoe painting idea. She thought I'd be super good at it. The first pair was for her.
-Interpretive dancing on the tramp. Yes, we made up our own music. Add on, fish out of water, etc..
-Clue. That one summer we played hours and hours. I would win about one out of five games.
-Egyptian Rat Screw. It's because of her I've got a slide that can beat everyone else to the sandwiches. Sibling competition.
-California speed. Still can't beat her.
-The awful hand-me-down jeans I got from her. Man, she just didn't have very good style in sixth grade:) I remember hiding a pair of them under my bed in a box for about a year. Another time a purposely ripped a whole in them from my bike. Whoops.
-Sleeping in the wagon at Challis and hiding from all the nasty moths. Gross.

I always think of her when I have a hard day. She's probably been the most encouraging person in my life. She's always telling people how I'm not afraid to be myself and what a cool person I am haha. I think it's an older sister bias. She wrote something in my birthday letter that I will always remember. Context behind the comment, we went swimming with our neighbors. I was too little to know how to swim. Keely jumped on the floaty I was on and it bounced me off. She immediately jumped in and tried to save me but she was only probably six years old herself. Needless to say, we both started drowning. She says, "I'll never forget the feeling of sinking and just trying to keep you above the water." I feel like she has done that her whole life, just tried to keep me above the water. That's what I love about family, they'll always be there. Oh man, I miss her. I miss her calling me Pocahontas or Bert or Basket haha. Goodnight.
