Rachel,
27 years ago you were gearing up for your life to change forever! 6 months from today you were going to be the big sister of twin girls. Oh, how you must have felt so lucky! hehehehe You were 9 years old and you must have been so excited......until we came home. Being that you were an only child for 9 1/2 years until we came along, it seems as though you adjusted to it well. You still talk to us so that's always a good sign! =)
Some of my favorite memories growing up were going to your apartment and spending the night. I remember a lot of getting into trouble (thanks to Cat! hehehehe) and many sleepless nights! You were more than an older sister, you were a parental figure. Definitely bossing us around ALL THE TIME. I guess that's the badge you get when you are the oldest!
As we got older you were always there for us. Taking us places, attending our volleyball/basketball games and swim meets. Making many many trips to Colorado and even going to Hawaii with us after we graduated high school. (I know we really had to twist your arm on that one!) Endless nertz games, movie nights and scavenger hunts were always loads of fun too. Nobody can plan a party like Rachel can plan a party that's for sure!
After high school you let me live with you while I tested being on my own. With you working days and me working nights during that time it sure made for a funny living situation. We never saw each other! Except for those nights we would try to watch a movie and I would fall asleep 10 minutes after it started. You never got mad when I would call you into the room to have you turn out the lights but you learned quick, and just stopped coming in! I always knew you had my back and that was such a safe feeling to have at 18 and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
Growing into a young adult with you by my side has been great. You are always there to share laughs with and to shed tears when tears need to be shed. You know just the right moment to break out singing when I just can't take the stress anymore. You are always there with opinions...even when I don't want your opinions! That's what big sisters are for.
I can't believe you are approaching 40 (I know, I know you're not there yet!) and we are approaching 30. Where the heck did the time go? I am so looking forward to the next 40 years and all the fun memories we are going to make!
I love you lots, thanks for being the best older sister ever! Here we are at an Angel game....shocking! Love, Suzanne

Hi, I found your blog post through a search for “Nertz”. It is cool to see others that know about the game. I hope you don’t mind but I wanted to let you know about playnertz.com, the site for the National Nertz Association. There is a bunch of interesting Nertz information there and you can also find out how to play Nertz online there. I hope you will check it out. Feel free to join and also let your friends and family know. Thanks
