Happy birthday Shay!

 Shaylin, I am so thankful for you! You are one of the most thoughtful people I know. You’re always willing to go out of your way to bless others and I really love watching that. People are drawn to you because you make them feel seen and loved. I am so thankful to be on this vacation with you right now and I cherish making these memories with you. You make me laugh and make me feel loved. I hope your Italian birthday is perfect:) I love you!

Happy birthday Cole!

Cole! I love you so much. I’m so excited for you to be in Europe for your 20th birthday! I already miss you though :)  I am so thankful to be your mom and get to fully experience all the special things about you. I love worshiping with you and seeing you praise God. I love how you go out of your way to make others feel included and important. I love how your mind never stops creating. I love our long conversations and processing sessions:) And I love how you love so well. You make life better for so many people. I’m so glad I’m one of them. I hope you have an incredible day! Happy birthday!
