Sisters, Sisters.

sisters, sisters.

Christiana Mattea and Carlynne Morrison.

We didn't always get along.

I'd yell at you when you sneaked into my room to steal my clothes.  

I swear you did it just to rile me up.

True?

I'd share my opinions when you dated guys I didn't approve of.

No, you didn't want to hear it.  

You know it was all out of love though, right?

You've always pushed the limits; 

and I tried to hold you back with fear that you might fall.  

That didn't seem to stop you.  

Instead, you pedaled even faster-

away and in the other direction.

My efforts weren't brought forth in a very gentle manner. 

In fact, they crashed into your strong will.  

Together they created thunder and tears.  

Our relationship bruised.

We learned.

Amidst the hurtful punches thrown and harsh words stabbed, we have always loved each other.  

Though our differences are many, our sisterhood bonds us with tighter force.  

As we've grown, I look at you and love you just the way you are.  

Your free spirit inspires me to leap into mid-air and take a risk-

to live without restriction.

In all reality, our diversities come together to create a more colorful existence. 

We intersect rather than parallel,

creating a spark-

energy.

Yep, Matthew, you brighten up my world.

I love you!

This collage of images was taken last November.  Due to the busyness of life, the photos haven't been posted until now.  Though the attire may be a bit dated for April (fur?), take note of bright colors blended with neutrals.  Also observe boyfriend-style denim, cropped tops, feather earrings, and chunky bracelets.  Wardrobe was inspired by the melding of our styles--Fashionable Female with Boarding Babe, Hip Hop with Hippie, etc.  Thank you to Kristina Krug and Ori Schnitzer for capturing this colorful, fun, and silly shoot.

My favorite of my sister's "song of the day" she blesses me with:

Take a listen as you browse.  I'd say it's a good soundtrack to this spread.

DANCE! (ok, now that's a trait sis and I both have in common)

"All kinds of weather, we stick together 
The same in the rain and sun 
Two different faces, but in tight places 
We think and we act as one"

-Irving Berlin
