the best two years

no i haven't served a mission & no i'm not sure if i will or not.
this post is titled 'the best two years' because, like many 19 year old mormon boys, i too left home & the country right out of highschool.  i went to ukraine, & then to idaho.  then i went to china, & now i'm back in idaho.  i've been home an accumulated grand total of 2 months since highschool.
yet, over these past 2 years i have grown more close to a certain someone, than i had the entire 18 years i lived with her;  my beautiful sister rachel.
(she also happens to be 2 years younger than me).
today is she is 18.
i wish there were some catchy phrase to describe 18 like 30, flirty & thriving.  that would make it sound cooler.  but really, 18 is a big number all on it's own. i look back to when i turned 18, & i'm less than pleased.  i was nowhere near the mature & beautiful girl rachel is now.

rachel i love you.
thank you for helping me through & making mine the best 2 years.
i'll always be there for you, the way you were for me.
