Happy Birthday Mom!!!!

Dear Mom -

I just want to tell you that I love you and I am so grateful that you are my mother! Not only are you my mom, you are my friend, my confidant, my shoulder to cry on, my rock, and the best grandma Sawyer could ask for! Thanks for always being there to listen to me and for helping me to figure out this whole mom thing! I don't think that I could do this without you! I know that Sawyer is so happy that you are his grandma! I love to see his eyes light up every time he sees you. I love that he knows that you can talk the talk and play the games and smile and laugh with him. I love that he knows that you would do anything for him. I love that he loves you!

I am so grateful everyday that you are living close by now. I am so happy that we can see each other everyday. It is such a blessing to have you near and to know that I can always count on you!

I also want to tell you that you are the hottest grandma out there! Look out world, hot grandma on the loose! Here's to another great year!!! We love you soooo much!

Happy Birthday Megan!

Who could ever imagine two 8th grade girls, more worried about boys and clothes than making lasting friendships would still be best friends eighteen years later! I am so grateful everyday that you noticed my little brother and had the forethought to wonder if being my friend would get you closer to him (sorry I know this is embarrassing). Look at how are lives have changed in those eighteen years....

5 1/2 kids

10 major (city to city) moves (I think?)

God knows how many apartments and houses?

God also only knows how many hair colors and styles

3 weddings

births and deaths

drama, drama, drama

And through it all you have been my best friend. I feel like I should recite my friendship vows here...

I take you Megan to be my best friend, in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, in good times and bad, though all the drama and bulls**t that comes our way. I am so lucky to have you as my emotional life boat and I swear to be the dingy that keeps you afloat! I also swear to always take your side in any arguments with our husbands and to always have your back when it comes time to throw down with any soccer mom who does you wrong! This I solemnly swear from this day forward until death do us part!

I love you and hope you have a great Birthday!

Love your Soul Sister!

Happy Birthday Amie!!

Once again I am posting this a little late. July 17th was Amie's Birthday. I want to give a shout out to her.

Amie,

Thanks for being such a great sister-in-law! I am so glad that we have each other to lean on and learn from. Thanks for always being there, to laugh with, cry with and commiserate with. I love you and hope that you get feeling better!

Happy Birthday Grandma Connie

Oh, my gosh! I can't believe my mom forgot your Birthday! What a slacker!

Sorry this is a little late, but here's wishing you a Happy Birthday! We hope that you had a great day and another wonderful year! We love you!
