It's your best day!

Good morning, birthday girl!

It’s your best day!

Somehow you went from this . . .

. . . to this . . .

. . . to this!

I’ll be danged if I know how it happened.

Should we perhaps call you the birthday queen?

I hope you have an awesome day at work, teaching your classroom the beauties of the Spanish language. I hope you eat something great, that someone (other than yourself) makes you a birthday cake, and that you get to have a long and wonderful talk with your deployed hubby-of-a-Dave.

I love you, and I’m so glad you came into the world 26 years ago . . . even if I was a little disgruntled at first.

Wary of the competition, some might say.

Concerned about the waning status of my supremacy in the household.

By the way, um . . . what do you want for your birthday again?

And I seriously think she wants a hat with ears. In lavender. I mean, what 26 year old beauty doesn’t?

A very happy birthday to you beautiful sis.

This was such a joyful post, Jenna — you captured the “essence” of sisters! (Speaking of which, I’ve been missing mine for almost a year and I get to see her next week — woohoo!)

Jenna Post authorOctober 14, 2011 at 9:08 AM

It’s great that you get to see your sis soon! I can fully relate to the joy of the occasion. =)

You guys look so crazy alike that i wasn’t sure if you were wishing yourself a happy birthday at first!

Happy birthday to your sister! Hope she has a rockstar kinda day!

Jenna Post authorOctober 14, 2011 at 10:08 AM

Joanne, I take that as a HUGE compliment. You just made my day. =)

I thought you must have died of ebola or something because I hadn’t gotten an email notification of any blog posts lately…until I remembered that you had changed your blog name and had asked us to resubscribe. Silly me. I didn’t! Now I fixed it, though. Phew! What a relief. That was a horrible three days without seeing any news from you. 🙂 Anyway, happy birthday to your gorgeous sister!!
