23. Her fantastic singing voice. For as long as I can remember, Ambree has been the singer in my family. I cannot remember a day going by that she has been home where our house has not been filled with music. Honestly, if our house was quiet we knew something was wrong. Turns out half the time she didn't realize she would randomly burst into song. We even had to make a special rule. Forever and always inscribed into our childhood heads was the line- NO SINGING AT THE DINNER TABLE!
22. Her love for the Red Sox. I don't know why I love her enthusiasm for this team so much, but I just love it ever so much.
21. Her face. I mean just look at it. Its not at all unfortunate looking. It is quite attractive actually!
20. She makes bomb macaroni and cheese.
19. She goes to school in Hawaii. And although I don't like this on account that I rarely see her, it really worked out when my parents and I got to go visit her in April. I got to spend my sweet sixteen with my big sis (oh, and a dang hot surfer guy)! It was the best birthday ever!
17. She's gonna be famous one day. (I mean, she's had lunch with Michelle Obama. She's halfway there!) So someday I will be the cool little sister of that one famous girl. After all, Ambree always said that Frankie had the best life of all the Jonas Brothers.
16. She doesn't like math. (I mean, I had to be better at something!)
15.She taught me how to do a double pirouettte. This might sound simple, but no. Teaching an awkward uncoordinated girl how to dance is no small task and requires extreme amounts of patience. She literally worked with me for 2-3 hours a day for 2 months. She deserves snaps for that.
14. Her room has never been clean. Never. And when I say clean, I mean a speck of floor showing. On more than one occasion, she has asked if I remembered the color of her carpet. The answer is no. Why do I love her messy room you ask? I suppose it just adds to her Ambree charm!
13. She gives really good advice. I know this is the cliche thing to say about a big sister, but it is really true.
12. She is not boring. She gives "not boring" a whole new definition. Like, for example, imagine a literature conference. Then, imagine the opposite of that on the boring scale. Then add spontaneity and some pixie dust and you have Ambree! TA-DAH!
11. She has more courage than anyone I know. (I know this sounds corny, but let's face it. I'm a fruitcake.)
10. Ambree isn't a fruitcake
9. She loves cheese. If it weren't for her, our Christmas Eve meal wouldn't be cheeseballs, easy cheese on crackers, and extra cheesy pizza!
8. We are soul surfing soul sisters. Say that five times fast. Ambree could.
7. Ambree is an exceptionally well fast talker.
6. Ambree would have noticed that there was no number 18 on this list. (and she wouldn't have scrolled back up to check like you just did either. she is just too smart for that)
5. She is studying peace building in college. That's pretty legit, I'd say!
4. She let's me tag along with her. Whenever she is in town, she takes me everywhere she goes. Some of my best days have been the ones where we drive around looking for the perfect pair of shoes or visiting her Anthropology friends. (and I'm not just talking about the clothes and perfume) I don't remember a time asking her if I could go with her somewhere with her where she has said no. (Except the 2000 Nsync concert; and I'm basically over that one by now) I love being her errand-running buddy!
3. She is such an amazing example to me. Honestly, half the things I do, say, and appreciate stem from her. I probably wouldn't give a skiddlydoo for dancing or baseball or Disney movies if it wasn't for her. Quite honestly, I have been copying her since birth. But I guess imitation is the greatest form of flattery.
2. This one time, I was sitting on the couch watching TV and she walked in with a plate with apple slices, pretzels, cheese, and crackers, and asked if I wanted to share a snack. She will never know how much that meant to me. I wasn't having the best day, but it didn't matter anymore. I will never forget what she did for me that day.
1.She's my big sister! And guess what?! She's stuck with me forever! Isn't that just grand?!
