Natasha

Today is my sister Natasha's birthday. I find it hard to even know where to start to talk about how great I think my sister is. She is truly one of my best friends!

Tasha is a very passionate person - when she does something, she does it all the way & does it really well, or when she likes something, she really, really loves it!

Thinking back, I realized that Tash included me in so many things as we were growing up & she never made me feel like I was just her little sister tagging along, but that she actually wanted me there! For example: she took me to my first concert when I was 10 (Cory Hart - I wear my sunglasses at night) with all her friends; she let me hang out at her college apartment pool with her & her friends; she would take me over to her boyfriend's house or apartment with her in high school & college; during the college semester that she lived at home she never got mad at me once when I went into her room every morning before school & woke her up asking to borrow her clothes; when she got married & moved to California & Arizona, she let me visit all the time; then when Brian & I decided to move to AZ, she let us live with her for about 9 months!! I could go on & on...


Tasha has supported me through so much - I am not sure that I would really make it as a pilot's wife if I didn't have Tash & her family nearby! She was there when my both of my kids were born and they absolutely adore their Aunt Tasha! She knows them so well and makes them each feel so special.

Tasha is a true sports fan - all sports! She can seriously talk sports with the best of 'em! Tash is such a capable & talented person & she is good at whatever she does, but the thing that I think that she is the very best at is being a Mother. She has raised three wonderful kids, Jake, Sam & Maddie, and she pours her heart & soul into everything she does for them.

One of my very favorite things to do is to just hang out with Tash & her kids - especially playing games & watching American Idol or So You think You Can Dance. We have so much fun together. I admire my sister so much, and I have been so blessed to live near her for the last few years.

Happy Birthday Tash!

I love you!
