My sister is pretty great, & here’s why:
She’s my running buddy.
Since she’s known me since I was 3, she always seems to know exactly what I mean.
She took care of me & my butt in the hospital.
She looks a lot like Lea Michele from Glee (but prettier!).
She works as a nanny for an ex-model and somehow acquired $200 skinny jeans for me.
The other day, she texted me from the airport & said: “In the international arrivals there is a huge boot surrounded by hay bales… this is why people from other countries think Texans are country bumpkins.”
And since our birthdays are 9 days apart (2/24/89 & 3/5/86), we thought it fitting to have our weddings 9 months apart. Actually, we didn’t plan that at all. Furthermore, our parents are glad that year of their lives is over.
She’s also the person I have these conversations with:
Katherine- YOU DIDN’T WORK OUT!?!
Lauren- I had to work/cook dinner/blahblahblah
Katherine- DEAD FATTY (Said like Jilian from biggest loser to one of the contestants.. “Every time I look at you I’m going to think, dead father!!!”)
Lauren- YOU COULD ENCOURAGE ME!
Katherine- Good job not working out.
Because her birthday is coming up (February 24th), & she is hilarious, I thought it would be entertaining if we did a Q&A – Ask The Sister. We’ll do a vlog & answer questions. It’ll be funny, promise.
Know how I know? Just the other day, she asked me, “In the song Hard by Rhianna, is she talking about bloggers?”
So leave your questions for us in the comments. Ask away. Ask anything. We’re usually pretty crazy when you put the 2 of us together.
And then do me a favor… fast-forward to 3:36 and tell me what you think she’s saying.

Comments on Never were there such devoted sisters.
From mandy:
Wow, your weddings were only 9 months apart? Your parents are saints. LOL. I think its great that you and your sister are so close.
From Kyla Roma:
Oh my goodness, that would have been a crazy year! I wish I had that relationship with my sister- unfortunately we can be a difficult bunch and she’s kind of our queen of the stubborn lol
From Katherine:
Yay!!! Look out people because the answer is not going to be cucumber!!!!!!! I can’t wait sister, love you ;)
From Lauren From Texas:
Hey the cucumber is the ultimate answer, so deep yet so simple of an answer.
From Victoria:
lol It DOES sound like she is saying “where dem bloggers at!” and so I looked up the lyrcis and sure enough she is! lol that is too funny!!!
I loved looking at both of your weddings pics!!! O M GEEEEEEEEEEE ONLY 60 DAYS UNTIL MY WEDDING!!!!!
From Heidi H.:
Ha. Good job not working out. She’s awesome.
And your wedding day is the same date as my son’s birthday. :-) Fun!
From Jill:
you and your sister are so pretty! I love the randomness of that text msg! :)
From sarah:
Since I am apparently the only person around here who follows directions…
Would you rather have an extra arm or and extra leg? Why?
From mrssjohnson:

Definitely saying Blogger- what what?
Um, I would like to know…what’s the most trouble you got into together?
From Suburban Sweetheart:
I love tat she said “people from other countries.” HOW ABOUT THE REST OF THE COUNTRY? Amazing.
From jenferlouise:
Who knew Rihanna was such a blogger fanatic? Maybe she’ll stop by a blogger meet up sometime. haha
Here’s my question: Do you still fight and argue? If so, about what?
From Stef:
My question is, did ya’ll ever go through that “I hate you stage” of sisterhood? If so, when did ya’ll start becoming close?
From HoustonGurly:
Rihanna is definitely calling out the bloggers… Mainly ones like Perez that talked so much mess about her during the whole Chris Brown thing.
My question: I know you guys work out together, but what do you do for fun together?
I think it’s great that ya’ll are so close… I have 3 sisters and only talk to one on a regular basis. Sad.
From Tabaitha:
If you could choose one accessorie to wear with an outfit, what would it be?
From Nora:
How in the world did she land a job nannying for an ex-model? (that’s me being totally jealous)
What’s it like to have a sister? I have only a little brother so i’m kind of jealous of people who have sisters!
From Kathleen:
Katherine, can you force me into working out too, please? Seriously.
From Cio:
I believe it’s safe to say that you BOTH are two of the most GORGEOUS women I’ve ever known. If you chose to stop exercising you could, and still look thin and beautiful.
so…
#1. Who loves me (Cio) more? You or Lola?
jk jk
#2. Can we start like a phone tag in the mornings?
basically you texting me to get my “Lazy,fat butt” out of BED. and GO WORKOUT. OR I WILL DIE.
Thanks. : )
From Laura:
I was trying to think of something lol worthy, but instead I decided I was genuinely interested to know what kind of “we’ll never tell anyone about this” exploits y’all have shared. Just, please, make sure that all the statutes of limitations are up first :) Oh, and, btw, you and a few other people finally got me blogging :) I kind of think I might get addicted.
From Lauren From Texas:
This is Michael by the way, Lauren’s husband. I am on Lauren’s computer. My question is how does it feel knowing that you weren’t the first vlog on Lauren’s blog? Are you jealous? Do you envy me?
From Lauren From Texas:
Michael again…What makes Lauren’s husband so darn cool and cute?
From abby:
Yes, she is totally talking about where them bloggers at!
From Ali:
How did both of you happen to get married so young? Were you HS sweethearts with your hubs’? I’m totally not asking in a judgy kind of way…you both just seem to have it way more together than most young 20′s that I know.
From Stephanie~LittleInsights.com:
Okay, (I too have a sister and we are also three years apart)! YEAH!! My question is were you always the best of friends or did you grow into your friendship? My second question is what was your worst childhood spat?
From Amber from Girl with the Red Hair:
Awww posts like this always make me wish I had a sister! And you’re both so pretty!! I’m excited for your vlog :D
My question: What did you use to fight about a lot when you were younger?
From Stephany:
I can’t wait for this blog! My question is…have you two ever had a huge fight and stopped talking for an amount of time?
From Stephany:
And I meant to write vlog…
From Marlena:
HAHAHA hubs and I thought she was saying “where dem black girls at…” which we found kinda offensive, I’ll have to tell him bloggers!
Questions questions let me think…
1) What’s kept you guys so close do you think? Because I have two sisters in law that pretty much hate each other and really only speak out of obligation. They couldn’t be more opposite. For instance, one is nice and one is the devil. I’m just sayin! I think it’s amazing you guys are so close and my only child self is completely jealous.
2) Have you noticed that [and this is due to my FB stalking prior to coming here] you guys married flip mode people? Allow me to explain….Lauren married a dark haired / eyed guy and Katherine married blondie / light eyes. I think it further proves your sisterly love. :-)
3) Do your ears hang low…do they wobble, to and fro?
4) Do you share EVERYTHING [oh and I do mean everything...I'm talking SCANDALOUS past occurences, if you have them!] with each other?
5) The weeping thing totally cracked me up. Do you have other sister speak?
Disclaimer: If any of these were asked by a previous commenter, I apologize. I am lazy.
From bgirl875:
Ummmm, sorry to spoil the fun, but I’m 99% sure Rihanna is saying “where them fly girls at, where them fly girls at, where they at where they at where they at.” But it’s adorable to think she is saying bloggers =)
Metro lyrics suck…they are NEVER NEVER right!
So question…
1) what’s the most embarrassing thing you two did together as kids? and nothing all sweet and cuddly…embarrassing!!! I want to laugh…
From Monica:
Love the title of this blog entry. White Christmas quote, right??
Anyway, would you guys like to be pregnant with your first babies at the same time? My sister and I were (totally not planned) and it was great! Her second baby and my first baby were born twelve days apart. So cool to go through everything with someone who I am so close too.
Also, Lauren you have motivated me to keep running even though some days my butt/legs scream “STOP”!
From kelly:
Being sisters, I’m sure you two share/d clothes. So, what article did/do you always borrow from Katherine and what does/did she always borrow from you? Was there ever anything she would borrow and youd get upset about it?
From Clare:
I want a sister!
What are your biggest similarities, and your biggest differences, personality/talent wise (rather than looks)
From Juliana:
Just found your blog-you both are so beautiful and this was such a sweet post!
