Most of you know that we are very close to my sister and her family. I don't think I express my gratitude enough for Allyson and Kyle. I can't count the number of times that we have needed help and they were the first ones to come and help as well as stay till the bitter end.
Kyle saw a picture of Allyson in our home and wanted to meet her. He flew up within a few days of seeing the picture and a year later, they were married. Who doubts Heavenly Father doesn't have a hand in ALL things? Kyle is a great husband and father as well as uncle and brother-in-law. He does a lot for our family and I know that I don't express my appreciation enough for him.
Today is Allyson's birthday. When my mom was pregnant with Allyson, I remember praying every night asking, pleading and sometimes begging for a sister. Even the doctors were surprised when Allyson was born. I loved her from the minute I saw her. She was so sweet, so kind and just always happy. She couldn't walk into a room without dancing. She would sing while doing chores. She was just so fun to be around and that hasn't changed one bit.

We have been lucky enough to live by them in several locations and I love that. I love being able to talk to her whenever and share experiences with her. Allyson is very different than I am - some would say the polar opposite. She is quiet, I am loud. She is easy going - I am... not so much. But even though we are so different, I consider her to be my best friend.
I love Allyson and Kyle very much. We are very fortunate to have them in our lives and in our boys' lives. I am very grateful for them and consider them to be one of my greatest treasures.
