Top 50 Reasons Why I Love My Sister

Today is my sister’s 25th birthday. It’s a big milestone as it marks the first quarter of her life. Leigh (or Nicole, as we call her in our family) has been my best friend for the last 25 years (officially now) and I don’t think my life would be the same without her. In this post, I’m listing the top 50 reasons why I love her. 🙂
