Growing up, Janine and I always butt heads because we were both so competitive in everything that we did. Simple card games would lead to complex arguements, but nothing that sisterly love couldn't handle! Through the years, we can look back and laugh at the things we used to argue about and share in a very similar sense of humor. I am very lucky to have such a supportive sister to look up to.

Through the years, we continue to pick up right where we left off every time we see each other.
