happy birthday caitlin!

My little sister Caitlin is turning 22 today!

  She is one of my best friends and one of my favorite people ever.  We have a lot more

 in common than we did 10 years ago (or even 5)

and I love that we are so close even though we're 9 years apart.

Caitlin said after her birthday last year (21 in Vegas) all birthdays will be boring.

That's a happy thought!

So I thought I'd give her a bonus present post (don't worry - you're still getting a real gift).

Here's to you Caitlin (Cait, Pudge, Tweet) - love you!

Caitlin is:

passionate, hangry, beautiful, driven, intense, intelligent,

funny, enthusiastic, skinny, stubborn, a super aunt, 

stylish, complex, an activist, a good dancer, moody,

an amazing writer and loyal friend.

Caitlin loves:

Sublime, chocolate cake, cute clothes, doing well in school,

cheeseburgers, high heels, the movie Garden State, her family,

all things beachy, good dining experiences, 

Lucy, My Fair Lady, singing along to everything, 

Brinton and her pups.

What I love about Caitlin:

her prince valiant haircut she had as a little girl, her shared excitement for

a morning mocha, a two second glance we can exchange that says 100 words, 

her confidence, watching her interact with Lucy,

how she was my nurse when I had mono at 19, her food texts and pics, 

watching her sing one of the Applebee's birthday songs or "go bananas".

I love you, happy birthday!
