I’m lucky enough to call my sisters my best friends. They’re two of the most important people in my life. Obviously, I love so many things about them, so when it comes time to celebrate either one of them I take full advantage of the opportunity.

As it so happens, my beautiful, brilliant, sweet, successful, perfect sister Hannah is turning 27 today and I felt like a proclamation of my love for her was not only appropriate, but completely necessary.

With out further ado, here are 27 things I love about my sister:

1. The way she does her hair
2. How supportive she is of everything I do
3. That she’s thinks I’m cool, even when I’m not that cool
4. That she told her friends I’m cool, which was really cool of her
5. She likes learning new things and is extremely knowledgable
6. If I really like a book I can talk to her about it because she’s probably read it
7. She’s really good at engaging with the people she’s around, and sets such a good example of how I could be interacting with others
8. When I’m stressed out about something, she knows the kind of advice that I need
9. When she was in fifth grade and I was in first she gave up her lunches to me almost everyday because I would forget mine. She’s done so much for me that I will be eternally grateful for
10. We can sit on the phone together for two hours and not run out of things to say
11. That I talk to her more than I talk to anyone else, even though we live far apart and both have our own lives going on
12. She understands the things that I’m going through, because she’s gone through them too
13. We get annoyed at the same things so I never have to feel like I’m going crazy over something that doesn’t matter
14. I’ve always had someone to look up to because she is the best role model
15. She always makes time for the people in her life, which I am lucky to be apart of
16. I can borrow from her closet when I’m  with her
17. She’s the one I go to for style advice
18. She helped me paint the canvases on my walls
19. She is one of the wittiest people I know
20. She takes my opinion seriously
21. People can tell us we look like twins
22. I receive an OOTD from her every morning
23. The way she presents herself as smart, pretty, and friendly all at the same time (honestly, it’s so impressive)
24. The way she can make me feel better when I’m really down
25. She asks me if I like the picture we’re in together before she posts it
26. She made up a song about me and she sings it to me all of the time
27. She sings me a lot of songs all of the time

 

The truth is, the list of things I love about her is never ending. I’m so thankful to have her as my sister and my friend. Here’s to many more birthdays of loving her.
