Battle Cry

There is nothing in the world quite like the bond of female friendships...and when your closest girlfriends happen to be your sisters as well, it's like being twice blessed. It's also like having a bond that no ginsu knife in the world could possibly cut through... come hell, high water, or special low price of $9.95.



Anna and Leah are my very best friends in the entire world. They are also my younger sisters...twins, to be exact. Eight and 1/2 years separate us in age, but you'd never know it when you see us together. We come from a family of six children...two brothers older than myself, and one brother that was born between me and the twins. Our family is pretty much like any other family these days: full of dysfunction, drama, crisis, craziness, and love. Through the years, we sisters have evolved from being merely siblings into being friends, from being friends into being kindred spirits, and from being kindred spirits into being more like 3 parts of one whole. Occasionally, we're accused of being too co-dependent. Truthfully? We don't care. What happens to one of us happens to all 3 of us....Ya-Ya.



Ok. I know you've heard the Ya-Ya term before if you've read the book or seen the movie Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. We're not really trying to infringe upon rights or steal anything here. We've had a rough couple of years, though, and in the past year or so we sort of adopted the phrase "ya-ya" as our battle cry to signify our sisterly devotion to one another through whatever circumstances come our way....and believe me when I tell you that they DO come, and they come often! (that's where the adventures part comes in)



So what will follow in days to come will be the adventures of us: Lyn, Anna, and Leah. Three crazy, silly, warm, loving, frustrated, intelligent, witty, charming, sometimes b*tchy, mixed-up sisters who love each other more than any other sisters on the planet. Sometimes the adventures are just everyday stuff...but if you knew us, you'd know that every day with us is an adventure. Just ask our families....
