My cousin and I have been trying to spend more time together lately. We're both home for the summer, with nothing to do, so why not spend our time together? Not to mention that we always have a great time. After about the fifth or sixth hour of shopping, we couldn't take anything seriously anymore, and at one point, I couldn't even park my car because we were laughing so hysterically!
All of this is a much welcome change from my younger years with Heather. When we were little, we spent pretty much every day together. Since she's two years older than me, I guess I always looked up to her and wanted to be just like her. I used to want to copy everything she did, and this annoyed Heather greatly. Not to mention that I am a very affectionate person while she is not, so I would always want to hug her, which she would not put up with. Needless to say, all of this led to much bickering and many "family talks."
However, I am glad to say that Heather and I are best friends now. We've learned how to put appreciate each other's differences and how to compliment the other's personality.
But despite our differences, there are a lot of common interests that we share. And thankfully one of those interests (dare I say passions?) that we share is a love of all things girly. We went into the day looking for shirts, jeans, and things for my dorm. What we ended up with was dresses, shirts, jewelry, perfume, tennis shoes, makeup, and a few things for my dorm. But more than that, we ended up with memories, sore muscles, and a lot of good laughs. I enjoy my time with Heather so much and look forward to going to school near my Clemson Tiger in the fall!
