Cheers to You...Happy Birthday, Linds!

Today is a very big day for my sister, Lindsay! First of all, it is her 21st Birthday!!! In addition, it is also her first day of her senior year of college, the day she auditions for all her fall shows, and perhaps, most exciting- the day she gets a blog post on Simply Full dedicated completely to her:)

Ok, so maybe that is not the most exciting of all these things, but regardless- Lindsay- this blog post is to you!

HAPPY, HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY!

Lindsay, you are not only my sister but truly my dearest and favorite friend! And though you are my "little" sister, I look up to you and admire you in so many ways!

I admire the way you have the courage to pursue your dreams.

I admire how hard you work at everything in your life!

I admire the way you sing and soo wish I could do it!

I admire your confidence in who you are in Christ and in exactly who he has made you to be.

I admire your humility that is mixed with this confidence. It is real humility, and such a reflection of Jesus!

I admire your integrity in everything!

I admire the way that you love people- faithfully, authentically, and without question! One of my favorite things is to see how all the different people in your life just adore you for you who are- because you have loved them, without question, for exactly who they are!

You teach me so much, my sweet sister, and I just love you!

For all of Lindsay's auditions over the past few years, I have been known to write her a cheer! It is pretty much all I can contribute due to my lack of talent and how stinkin nervous I get at those auditions! Linds, I seriously don't know how you do it all the time! But here you, a birthday and audition cheer all in one!

Ready...Hit it...

Happy Birthday, Linds! You are 21!

I hope your day is so much fun!

Finally, old enough to drink a beer!

And so here you go, your birthday cheer!

Enjoy your day, have fun at class!

And tonight at auditions, go kick some...tail!

The greatest actress in all the school!

You are sure to make those directors drool!

From your songs and from those parts you read!

They will just be dying to make you the lead!

But as you sing, and dance, and read your lines!

Don't forget who is cheering for you- your biggest fan, your favorite sister- Caroline!

Have a great day, Linds! I LOVE YOU!
