Birthday to....

Brooke - You are amazing. You have such patience and dedication in everything that you do. I truly admire you.

Jane - Twelve years old. Crazy. You are so beautiful and, I gotta tell ya, I love your hair! I think I'll probably take a picture of you into my stylist and say, "Make it look like this." :) I love you and hope to see you soon now that you are a fellow Californian.

Isaac - An official teenager tomorrow. I really admire you for how much you love your family and how you are so kind to your brothers, sister and cousins. I'm glad I got to spend the week in Shasta with you so I could see how much you are growing up.

Alyssa - I know you can't read this but I love you so much and miss the heck outta ya! You are a total doll and I am so happy that I had the time I did to play with you while you lived in San Diego in your first year.

Anniversary to...

Mom & Dad - You guys are such a great example to me of love. It has been so fun to see you both, as everyone has left the house, grow even more attached to each other. I am so happy that I have parents that love each other so much.

David & Adina - I feel like you two have always been together since I was so young when you started dating. But you also are an awesome example of two people who work so well together and still have so much fun being together. I hope to have that too.

Bottom-line: I love you all and I hope that you all enjoy your special days!
