1. she's a cute kid.
2. she used to have a crooked little smile, and she would follow me around when we were younger, literally finishing my sentences.
3. we shared rooms, and even a bed sometimes, when we were little. when we couldn't sleep, we'd stay up all night and do hundreds of back walkovers off our beds. one time we even put on our school clothes in the middle of the night to "save time in the morning". we thought we were clever.
4. kate started cheerleading when she was about 8 (to be like me, of course) and was scared to stunt for the longest time. she ended up being the best darn flyer to ever come from mercer county. she once went to a BGSU cheer practice as a favor to a friend, and they didn't know what to do with her. she's that good :)
5. she knows EVERY SINGLE WORD to EVERY SINGLE SONG.
6. my mom and dad often told her to "take care of her older sister" in college. she did...like when i locked myself out of my car and apartment, knocked out my front tooth playing snow football, and maybe had somewhat of a slight mishap at the brathaus once ;)
7. she'll dance anywhere...especially if i agree to dance with her. the girl has no shame.
8. she's not afraid of grand lake and its toxic water. not even a little. in fact, she's pretty awesome at wakeboarding.
9. she sometimes bought groceries for both of us when we lived together and i was broke. thanks, kath.
10. she "let me" borrow her clothes. or sometimes i just took them without asking...oops.
11. she weighs like 80 lbs soaking wet...wait, i don't really love that.
12. kath's a natural with kids, especially with our "niece and nephews".
13. kate loves to work. i totally admire that. me, i could live without it.
14. she's (kind of) a browns fan. erick mostly loves that.
15. she'll willingly throw up gang signs at a wedding.
16. kate does her school work like 20 days in advance. i think she's adopted.
17. when she was little, my dad called her "toot bucket davis" hahahaha!!
18. she eats as much, if not more, than i do. we used to have eating competitions at end-of-the-year cheerleading banquets. keepin' it classy. and we also strongly believe that lean cuisines are snack-size.
19. she'll wear a painter's glove as a prop for a michael jackson impersonaton in front of 600 people. awesome.
20. we have the same favorite movies. dirty dancing, flashdance, chitty chitty bang bang, and father of the bride I and II. she's also known every word to grease since she was 6.
21. she was the best maid of honor EVER. she planned my shower, bachelorette party, and basically my wedding. and she even managed to say a few nice things about me in her speech. what a good sister.
22. she's the super cutest, nicest, best sister ever. happy birthday kate. sorry i can't be there. i love you!!!
