I thought it would be fun to re-share a post I posted a couple of years ago on her 30th birthday of 30 of my favorite things about her. (These are in no particular order and there are a ton more I could have mentioned. It was hard to narrow it down to just thirty!)
1. That you still thinks code names are "cool".
2. That no matter how many years we take the twenty hour car trip to New York you still think it is fun to sneak "just one more thing" in.
3. The Rescue. Need I say more?
4. Our Memories.
5. The Spring that we lived together before I got sick.
6. How BIG your heart is.
7. That you get dressed up for dinner just because I think it is fun.
8. The laughter that you bring to our family.
9. That we still laugh about Mary Kate and Ashley movies and that you still encourage me that we will be on the Amazing Race. "Let's run up the hill... duck... okay get in the car... this game is all about minutes."
10. Our conversations.
11. That you think I am a good singer (hahaha) and that it is always a good time to start "air-singing" ... don't worry I will call and sing to you today!
12. ALL of your prayers for me!
13. Our Thanksgiving Starbucks tradition

23. that you love toasting with Starbucks water just because I think it is fun
24. your love for scamper and my future hubby and my future children
