It's my BIRTHDAY!!

27 years ago today I graced the earth with my presence. So far this has been the best birthday ever. It all started on Friday. I've been celebrating my birthday everyday since then. My wonderful husband sent me flowers and there have been gifts and card galore. One card surpasses them all. Megan Myrick, one of my favorite teenagers in the world made a card for me and I just have to share it:
It's every letter of all my names:
J-is for the jingling you make with the bells at Christmas time
E-is for how enlightening you are.
S-is for the smiling smirk you put on my face.
S-is for the smell of your perfume
I-is for the unique imagination you have
C-is for the child deep within you.
A-is for your age because you're getting up there

L-is for the leaping I do when I am around you.
Y-is for that young age you used to be
N-is for your nails and how colorful they are

E-is for your electrifying presence
C-is for how much care for our community
K -is for how kind you are
A-is for the apparel you wear
R-is for the super cool retreats you plan
D- is for how good you drive

L-is for how loquacious you are
A-is for your muscular arms
W-is for how white you are
R-is for how much you rock
E-is for the emptiness in the room when you're not there
N-is for your new hair color and how punk it looks
C-is for how good you crochet
E-is for how encouraging you are

Thanks Meg!! It really has been the best birthday ever!!!
