I'm becoming a Big Sister

Well early this winter I decided to do something that I have wanted to do since I was 21. Become a Big Sister. The time was never right to be able to dedicate 1 or 2 years (or more) to being a Big Sister. There was always something tying up my time. So now that my life is now "mine" to do with what I please, and what I want to do now that I no longer have personal obligations I decided now was the time. So I lifted my chin high and I ventured into the office and put in my application. After a long enrollment process I have to this point been accepted and I now wait for my home visit and then we decide on who might be the best  Little Sister match for me. I am getting so unbelievably excited. I was never able to have kids (as much as we tried) and have always enjoyed showing "kids" how to do things so now is my opportunity to give back something of myself that I value that I know will be appreciated and carried down to further generations. I will now have a "Little" to do things with, someone who has not had the privilege to be able to experience some of the things that I can offer. (what young girl would give their right arm to be able to spend time with little horse, and shelties and chickens and hang out on a hobby farm and go to the occasional dog show or go for a walk on the beach in the summer, or maybe go camping, or fishing....so many things I would love to do with a Little Sister) So if you see me out and about with a "Little Person" showing them the ropes then you know I have achieved a life long goal!! To be a BIG SISTER!!!
