The Wonder that is Laura

It is Laura's Birthday on the 28th so to honor her, I won't say how old she is, but I will just randomly post 25 things that we all love about her...

1. She has the most beautiful Pantene shiny hair ever. It always looks good and coming from the crazy curly haired girl, there is a lot of jealousy.

2. You can't say anything about a Barlow girl without mentioning the laugh. We come from a long line of great laughers and Laura fits right in.

3. For a little girl, she sure rocks the big car. First it was a Jeep Cherokee, now it is Lois the Montero. If you want to see something funny, watch her try and wash it or scrape off the snow from the windshield. She still makes it look good...

4. She is funny and funny things happen to her. Story time is always good when she is around.

5. There are still people in the world who know her only as Starfish. Not everyone could carry off a name like that with style, but she really does.

6. She would do anything for anyone.

7. She is smart-she graduated fast and with 2 majors: Political Science and History.

8. She is always off on a cool adventure. Check out her blog and you will see recounting of her cruise to the Bahamas and most recent 4-wheeling excursion in Utah.

9. She can throw the best parties ever. There was a Chinese New Year party that people still talk about and I am sure that the mansion will quickly become legendary.

10. She has great taste in music. She is always up on the newest artists but still has a taste for the classic 80's butt rock band.

11. Going to an A's game with her is truly an experience. Most of the time it involves being seen on the jumbotron or clearing out the section around us because people can't handle the fan-atics.

12. She has a great taste in clothes. She always looks put together and ready for anything. She would never wear a wife-beater tank top, suspenders and a hat to go dancing. Never.

13. She sets goals and sticks to them. She has always wanted to run a marathon, so she did. Wanted to work in politics, so she is. Loves to travel, so she does. You get it.

14. Has a job working in her passion, politics. I am pretty sure that the Utah Senate will never be the same.

15. She is honest-especially when you need someone to be honest. Not in a rude way, but in a way that she cares about you so she will let you know what's up.

16. She ALWAYS looks good. Whether she has just woken up or is ready for a night on the town, she has a natural beauty that always shows through.

17. She is fun at a concert. There is no shame to dancing on your chair and I don't think I would ever go to Kelly without her:)

18. She does a great classic gymnastics pose that only a few select people outside of the family have had the opportunity to see.

19. Her love of The Godfather will never be rivaled. She even has a poster of the man himself watching over her while she sleeps. After all, everything in the world can be related to The Godfather.

20. She is faithful.

21. She has naturally straight, white teeth and never had to have braces for a great smile. No fair.

22. Is always up for spending couch time watching a Lifetime "suck-me-in" movie when needed.

23. Will unleash the wrath of Laura on anyone, anytime if needed and never at inappropriate moments.

24. She is very passionate about everything she does and makes me want to learn more about the things that are important to her just so I can keep up. I don't think I have ever been more interested in the upcoming Presidential elections than this year (don't worry, Mom, I have always voted).

25. She is a great friend and sister. Hope that you have a great day too-Love you sista:)
