My dearest sister Sara Beth,

I wasn’t going to write you a list of 26 reasons I love you for many reasons… a) you deserve a better birthday blog than this b) I wasn’t sure I could come up with 26 reasons c) I didn’t realize you would be okay with me telling all of my readers how old you are…but because you requested it…

For your 26th birthday, I made a list of 26 reasons I love you! Enjoy!
