Ginny a video to watch, but we were definitely thinking about our wonderful sister-in-law and aunt yesterday on her 30th birthday! Gin, I laugh every time I look at this picture because of Bryan's 'addition' - can you believe this was taken 9 years ago?!? Wish we could celebrate with you in person (especially since I could have gotten in on that massage/facial deal if we lived closer!), but just know we love you and we're so glad you're part of our family. Here are 30 things (in no particular order...except the first one is the most important) we love about you:- You put up with Bryan
- You play nerts with us
- You're adventurous
- You're a great cook
- You gave us 2 beautiful nieces/cousins
- You're a wonderful mom
- And you're also a fun mom
- You can dish it out as much as you can take it with Bryan and we LOVE this
- You love Ethan
- You love Rachel
- You send really cool gifts
- You never run out of good Lawton school stories
- You're our hero for raising Addi on your own while Bryan was serving his country
- You're the best (and funniest!) blogger in the world
- You remind us of Debra on Everybody Loves Raymond (this is a good thing)
- You're a great shopping partner
- You're a great hostess when the Texans invade NC
- You're an Aggie
- You always know the best places to eat
- Even though you live in NC, you'll never lose your Texan pride
- You give great advice
- You mail out pictures for our refrigerator so we can see Addi/Libby while we're eating breakfast every morning
- You're a good teacher
- You can multitask better than anyone - 3 kids at the grocery store? Amazing!
- You're honest
- You don't mind being a "excuse" phone call (you know, like while I'm getting Ethan's hair cut!)
- You're a great sister-in-law
- And a great aunt!
- You can keep Clay on the phone longer than anyone else
- You love your family above anything else
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GLP!
I would add my own "30 favorite things" but people might get the idea that we all actually LOVE you....which, of course, we do! We are so blessed that Bryan had the good sense to ask you to marry him and you were brave enough to say yes. Charlene
ReplyDeleteOh, my, how big my head is getting :) Really, thanks so much to the SFB and my dear Mother-in-Law for the kind words. I had a great birthday...it could have only been better had it been my 29th!...or, of course, if I had been able to celebrate it with my TX family :)
