Today is Kelsey's birthday so I am going to take a moment to tell all of you about what a great sister Kelsey is... Kelsey is great for the following reasons:
1. She is really inspirational, just read this quick list of amazing feats that I thought of off the top of my head: she has ran many marathons mostly without the traditional training that a normal person would do, she biked from Seattle to WA DC with a bunch of strangers, she gave birth to Eli without any drugs and she is a special ed teacher that has to put up with a lot of crazy and sad situations and she doesn't complain even half as much as I do about my job.
2. She is really easy to make laugh or scream. If you were fortunate enough to grow up with Kelsey your entire life, like I did, then you would think you are really funny (like I do) because Kelsey laughs a lot and laughs hard. I've always been a little jealous of how easy Kelsey laughs. Also if you drive down a hill fast or go on even a small roller coaster Kelsey can't stop screaming... I don't think she can help herself and I find this highly amusing.
3. Kelsey is really loving, but gives the worst hugs ever. This forces her to show her love in other more subtle ways and somehow that makes her a lot more genuine.
4. She is a really loyal friend and sister and is the perfect amount of serious, fun, energetic and practical.
I think that's a good start, but there are many, many more reasons why she is a great sister and friend. I hope you all get to have a friend like her in your life. Happy birthday Kelsey!
