My other sister

Well though she would never admit it, I am my SIL Katelyn's favorite SIL. Katelyn is Justin's little sister. She's young, single, dating... remember how exciting that was? Not that I'm old now, but the dating part. I would ALWAYS be wondering, "Hmmm, what if I marry that guy? Or that one? What if it's this other guy I've known my whole life, but never thought twice about?"

About a month ago I invited her to live with us for the millionth time, and she finally agreed. It was a conditional offer on my side... no nanny business unless I paid her. She and I both know, I can't afford her. So she moved in.





And maybe it's because I'm dang nosy, but pretty much every morning consists of me knocking on her door (after waiting a good 20 minutes after I've gotten out of bed myself... you know to be considerate and let her "sleep in") to proceed to curl up on the bed next to her while quizzing her on everything. I HAVE to know specific details of the previous night. Now I don't always get everything, but I get enough to be satisfied and let me tell you... she needs a blog for some of these stories! Everything from getting smashed in the face with a soccer ball to falling asleep in the middle of the street in front of her new boyfriends family. Hysterical and I love hearing about it!

Now if I could just get Justin to make enough money to support his sister... that nanny business would be pretty awesome, but then what would I do with my time? Hmmm... take a nap I think.

Too bad she's not the "cute" sister - that spot's already taken HAHA She totally looks like Justin in a wig.....only better. Like a sexy Justin in a wig, not drag like.... Okay, I'm going to stop typing now...I'm just diggin' myself in deeper...

how fun! you just like having another grown up girl around to dish with! it's purely selfish for her to be there. you are living vicariously through her and you know it! she is dang cute.

So fun to have an adult to talk to during the day. What do you think about us all doing something when you and Julia are in town. Let me know what you think.
