My Sisters

I've been blessed with two incredible sisters- Also known as super athletes. Throughout high school, my twin sister Kristen dominated in Tennis and Basketball. She played in a lot of USTA big time tennis tournaments and did quite well. Also, she tied our high school 3 point record for a game (7 threes) and broke the career point record, scoring well over 1,000 points. no girl has ever reached 1,000 at our school. And she somehow got on this Junior Nationals basketball team and played in Ohio.

But not only is she athletic, she can draw, paint, pastel, and all that kind of art stuff majorly beautiful. Her work decorates our house and my daddy's office. Some of his patients have mistaken one of her framed works as a photographed picture. She is also musically gifted and really smart. She got all As this past term at Furman, and she has two science major classes. She wants to be a vet. She's gonna be a downright great vet, i have no doubt.

One very special thing about her though, is she is so humble about it all and very sensitive to other people. She loves God and puts Him first in her life. She always tried to encourage me and help me not feel so inferior. I love my sister and am so glad we get to room together in college. yes we have our moments, but we always make up.

Now, Ashley is a freshman in highschool, and her basketball talent is blowing away the whole county. last night, i saw her tie Kristen's three point record. She rung 7 for 9 three pointers, and she is only in the 9th grade. She already averages in the double digits a game. She can play some defense too. Ashley, like me, can get a little bit too aggressive on the court sometimes. I remember well the time i slapped a girl in the face who wouldn't let go of my jersey, so i couldn't help but laugh when ashley slapped a girl who wouldn't let her go.

But ashley follows Kristen's example, and doesn't let sports rule her life. She has great concern for her schoolmates, and especially for those who aren't Christians or are struggling with something. She has a beautiful voice and i love to hear her play the guitar or piano and sing.

Ashley has always said that she wants to go to Furman and play basketball for Georgia. i dont know how she is gonna do that, but we'll see. She has height, unlike Kristen, so I have no doubt she could get a basketball scholarship somewhere good. She is super smart too, she has a bigger vocabulary than i'll probably ever have. She loves to read the big, thick books.

I love my sisters and its so reassuring to know that they love me, even when i've been mean to them, they forgive. Thats my sisters
