Today marks the 32nd birthday of my sister, Siri. My other sisters have left very cute messages on their blogs for her... mine won't be cute, but I wanted to take a second to tell her how much she means to me. Siri has always been my other mom. She has spent plenty of time taking care of me. I don't know how I would have made it through BYU without her. We've always had a special bond- probably from being the two of our ten siblings who have always been, and continue to be, away from home. When I feel lousy on a holiday or special occasion because I'm not at home with the family, I somehow always take comfort in the fact that she isn't there either. It truly has created something special between us. Siri is amazing- she has strength and courage beyond what "normal" people have. She may not see it, but I do. Siri is good at whatever she wants to be good at. If she decides she's going to do it, she does. I admire that so much. She is an amazing wife, mother, and aunt. My girls adore her and I love that. They get so excited when I tell them we are going to visit or that she is coming down to see us. I couldn't ask for a better sister or friend. Happy Birthday, Siri! I love you!

you're a nice sister. Siri is great, isn't she? (and lucky for us ... older than we are!)
And I never worried much because I knew you two were together and you would take care of each other. Truly, Cori, you have a lot of strength of your own. Being younger hasn't slowed you down much.
It's Siri's bithday? no way!
