This is an old photo, but it is one of my favorites of my oldest niece and me. She is the one who officially made me an aunt for the first time. Yesterday was her 25th birthday. I can't believe how fast the time has flown. This is the same niece that went on the mission trip. She's had some ups and downs these past few years, but I believe she has come out stronger because of them and I couldn't be more proud of her if she was my own.
