Memory 7- 10/2/09

Michelle has been my role model since before I can remember. When I was little I would copy everything she did and I still look to her as my example of how I want to live my life. I remember this one day, back when we still lived in our first house in Florida, when Michelle decided to teach me a dance routine that she made up. I remember being in such awe of her creativity and tried my hardest to do every move that she did. I'm sure we looked silly, but I had so much fun. I still remember my favorite move from that day- we started laying down on our backs and then lifted our legs in the air and balancing our hips on our hands so that our body weight was all on our upper back and forearms. We began bending one leg at a time- kicking to the sound of the music. We started laughing because we were being so serious and fell over. Eventually we did our routine for Mom and Dad. I felt so grown up- performing with my older sister as if we were the same age. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful sister who spent so much time with me and never made me feel insignificant even though I am 8 years younger.
