Today my little sister turns 22!!
It has been quite a year for her too!
She started off celebrating being 21 with a drinking around the world adventure of Disney World. 
She then packed up and headed to Spain to dig up new friends at field school….
… and back packed around Europe with my Dad.
Family vacation brought her to the beach…
….. and to the mountains.
Oh yeah, she also met a boy somewhere in between.
Being 21 also meant the start of her Senior year and the last Football season as a student of FSU.
Christmas was a time of goofiness.
New Years marked the start of 2009 and the halfway point of making it to 22.
In March Kelly became a miracle…
…and in April she proved nothing is impossible, by conquering a 15 mile race a month after defying all odds.
In the final week of her 21st year Kelly graduated from FSU Magna Cum Laude.
Yes, 21 was a great year for my little sister, but I know 22 will be even better. Kelly has a summer ahead of vacations, working for the Canaveral seashore, starting Grad School in the fall and of course living close to me!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELLLY!!!!!!
Can you believe I got a little teary eye putting that together? I can’t believe all that has happened since Kelly’s last birthday and trust me I could have added so much more!!
Kelly is actually on her way back from hiking in the mountains with her boyfriend so I am not sure if I will get a chance to actually see her today, but we will be celebrating tomorrow!! 
I started this morning with the yoga DVD Melissa had sent me and a nice bowl of cereal.
In the mix I had 1/2 cup kashi Blueberry Oat Clusters, 1/2 cup Quaker Oatmeal Squares, Vanilla Non-Fat Yogurt, Blueberries, Strawberries & 1/4 of a Pomegrante Walnut Honest Foods Granola Plank.
Now I just have to wait for a reasonable hour to call my little sister and wish her a big Happy Birthday on the phone!

That’s awesome! I have to say, this post about your sister seriously motivated me to stop being so lazy and get myself in gear with college and pursing my dreams.
Particularly her going on a dig. I think that is so great! Did she do it through FSU or through a different source?
