I completely forgot all about National Siblings Day yesterday so I'm having a little celebration today!
I'm beyond lucky to have an older sister and older brother who care for me and take care of me always. I know that even if I can't go to my parents for something, advice, etc they are always there for me! I can always ask my sis for help figuring out what my doctors tell me or what medicines I should take for any ailment and my brother is always there to answer my technological questions (hello blogging haha) and pet questions! It's not like we didn't have our fights/disagreements/etc. growing up or even as adults but everything we've gone through has made our relationships stronger and we know that no matter what we can count on and depend on each other (even though my brother lives halfway across the country now and my sis is only 35 minutes away from my house)!
Here are some of my favorite pictures of all of us over the years :)
sister and I in Myrtle Beach late 1990s (haha I was clearly not amused)

at my sister's pharmacy school graduation (frm unc EW) in 2005
my brother's graduation from VT in 2005
me and these two geniuses- funny story: they both graduated the same day from VT/pharmacy school and for their grad present, my parents rented an airplane so we all could make it to Chapel Hill, NC in time from Blacksburg and we went to both my bro and sis' graduations!
hungover and on a 16hr flight to Doha, Qatar and then to Ahmedabad, Gujarat in 2010 (on my bday!!)
sister and I at one of our cousin's wedding in 2010
