My Beautiful Sister

You know how you have friends or family that live so close, but you don't get around to visiting them as much as you would like to? You don't really need to make plans to go visit because they live in the same town and you can visit them whenever? And then one day things change so much that that person is going to move and then you realize that you should have gone to visit more often or gone out to get icecream or just stopped by to say a quick hello. Well that has happened to our family. Ryan and Ali have gotten a divorce and yesterday Ali moved to Arizona. I am so sad that she had to move. I know it was the best thing for her to do and that things will work out, but I am so sad that I am not going to be able to see her whenever I want to.


She has been such a great sister-in-law and I have been blessed to have her in my life. She is just as crazy if not more than our family--and those of you who know my family know how crazy we are. :) I will always remember the very first time I met her. They had been married for a couple of months and we were in the airport to pick them up (She is from Spain and that is where they were married). When they got off the plane I was so excited to see Ryan and meet her, I started to walk towards them and Ali gave me a big hug and said "It's good to meet you Tiffany." I was so shocked (I don't know why) that she knew my name and everyone elses for that matter. They lived with us for a couple of months before they found a place and moved to Provo. It has been 11 years (in November) since then with a lot of fun times and some really sad times and the chance to get to know each other well and get to become close like sisters. Girls day won't be the same without her and family get togethers will always be one person short.

Ali, I just want you to know how much I love you and how much I will miss you. We will see each other again. Just remember to have fun down there, meet new people, experience all that Pheonix has to offer and be good! You will forever be apart of our family and nothing will ever change that no matter what anyone says--we have it on paper!!! I love you and miss you already.
