Unusually Affectionate

so niki's almost all ready for prom. we found the perfect dress on monday (better than the last dress we picked out). mom's making a couple alterations to make it cuter. hair and makeup appointments have been made. i gave her a complete manicure and pedicure today. why am i being so nice? cuz i'm always nice! no, not really. i'm being nice cuz i'm very proud of her. moving to atlanta in the middle of high school, changing four high schools, working hard to graduate with an international baccalaureate diploma, and being a generally good kid and maintaining her testimony through her teen years. and believe me, i've been on her case the whole time, usually even tougher than my mom. we've had many a yelling match, but it was worth it. and also because i have to miss her graduation cuz i'll be in toronto. i'll also have to miss ashish's graduation, unfortunately. they're both graduating a week apart from each other and i'm proud of both of them. i'm proud of ashish for stepping out and taking a risk and doing what he felt God wanted him to do even without everybody's approval. i don't say this often enough, but my siblings are pretty awesome. and i know that wherever life takes them, they'll do great things because they're great individuals and they serve a great God.

love you guys :)
