Birthdays…now this is something real. A birthday is a celebration of another year successfully completed. Another level. It’s an accomplishment because there are so many pitfalls in life that can cause failure and that having another year pass where you move forward with wisdom, knowledge and love is something to truly celebrate. So here we are. Yup, Mom, Wife, sister, aunt, cousin, niece, daughter and friend. Made it through another level, leaving behind lots of love, support AND wisdom in your wake. Something to be proud of, to be sure because there is NOTHING we can do as human beings more then what we leave in the memories of those we love. This last year was impressive, to say the least. Our second year at the mountain ranch has had numerous hurdles blocking our path from flooding to various repairs including one made by a certain person (we won’t disclose who) who made a giant hole in the ceiling with his body. We built a pool. Oh my, what an epic project that was (finally nearing its end). We continued the quest to fill the yard with grass only to have it all destroyed by Neanderthals'. Through it all, we are still standing, in no small part due to your strength. Not everyone could do this. Not everyone makes it. But you did. We did. We had lots of fun this last year too! The zoo, the mountain climbing park, trips to South Florida, drone flying fun park, hiking…oh my…hiking, not just with Ethan but with Nephews too! Oh and let’s not forget SNOW! Lots of adventure, fun and excitement. Ready for another year? Let’s GO!
