Happy Birthday Emily!!!

I thought to celebrate Emily's Birthday I would share with you the
"10 Things I Love About Her!"

1) I love how responsible she is with our money. More than once she has budgeted us out of debt!

2) I love that she loves to Thrift! I struggle to get as excited as she is, but I appreciate her adventures and finds!

3) I love how much time she spends teaching the kids. Ethan's "brilliance" is a direct reflection of her efforts!

4) I love that she is easy to please. A bag of M&Ms or brownies and a movie are a perfect way to spend an evening.

5) I love that she easily goes hiking in the morning and dresses up like a princess for a formal in the evening!


6) I love that Emily is a perfect road tripper! This was one of the first tests of our realtionship when we were dating, a cross country trip from Savannah to Salt Lake City. I knew she was the lady for me after three straight days together!

7) I love that she actually cares if I get hurt and shows lots of sympathy. We have a low ceiling in our new house and I bump my head occasionally and each time she rubs my "ouwie"

8) I love that she dreams with me of the day that the kids will be out on their own and we will be out on our own, going out on dates everyday or seving a Senior Mission (to the South Pacific)!

9) I love that she supports me in my career and my Church callings. She knows that it is important to me to serve and that I live by the motto "If not me, then who?"

Last and most fun!!!

10) I LOVE that after 7 years and two kids later she gets me excited and looks SO HOT when stepping out of the shower!!!!

Happy Birthday Emily.... Love you this year and for eternity!

Emily I can't believe you are -- years old. I remember when you were born and dad made us three little ones shower and wash our hair with vinegar just to see you. I love you so much and am thankful that you are my little sister. Happy Birthday and kisses and hugs from your big sister Gennie
