Happy Birthday JOCE


Today is my older sister's b-day. Because all of my stuff is in storage I don't have a cool/funny picture of Jocelyn to share so here is a group shot of all of the girls a year ago. Since Joce & I were the youngest we were referred to as the "little girls". Jocelyn and I have shared a lifetime of memories whether it was laughing, crying or making home videos glad they had you in them Joce!

Jocelyn saved her money and bought really nice, name brand clothes. Me on the other hand I would rather have more clothes so I bought cheap. One day I borrowed a pair of her Girbaud jeans (wow, that statement really dated me does anyone even know what Girbaud is?) Whenever I borrowed Joce's clothes I would get a mini lecture about not staining them, ruining, them, etc, etc. Anyway, I decided to hop on my dad's 250 dirt bike for a quick thrill ride down the gravel road. I decided that I wanted to go faster and I hit a big rock and lost control. I flew threw the barbed wire fence and had a slight concussion. I started walking home holding my arm. I don't remember this part my mom told me. She got in the MV (mini-van) and picked me up. I looked like a wreck. Hay sprigs in my hair and torn jeans. CRAP! My mom got my dad from the field and they took me to the ER. It was a Friday night and I am sure Jocelyn was out on a date with one of her weird-o boyfriends. Since I was a freshman I was home chillin. The whole ride to the ER (if you knew where I grew up, you would understand the ride was long) I kept saying stuff about Jocelyn's pants and she was going to kill me. Finally my mom told me to zip it about the pants. Apparently I was going on and on and on (kind of like this post).

End of story - Jocelyn comes home and is worried about me and not the pants. In fact my mom did a cool patch job on them and Jocelyn didn't think it was as cool as me so she gave them to me. What an awesome sis I have! That is true in so many ways. Best friends are we my sisters & me!

Oh ya, I broke my clavicle and the brakes on the bike were bent. That's all.

Great story! I remember Gerbauds, I'm just impressed you remembered how to spell it!! Tell Jocelyn Happy Birthday from me! I wish she had a blog! Maybe you could give her my email! She always was the best, and I'm sure she still is! I am jealous you sold your house so soon! We have had ours up forever and no takers! Any tips?

I forgot that crazy story....I do remember being such a brat when you borrowed my clothes (I feel bad now! You can borrow them anytime, no questions asked!)! There were a few things I worried about and you were #1 of them. Thank goodness for great sisters. We did have a lot of fun together, never a dull moment at our house, the joys of living in the middle of nowhere. Thanks for not naming names of the losers I dated!!
I love ya!!

This is the part I didn't understand:

"Jocelyn comes home and is worried about me and not the pants."

She must be a great sister (even back then.)
