Birthdays!

I love April – it is full of birthdays of people who are very dear to my heart! And they all fall around the same week! So, in honor of those precious people, I thought I’d do a quick birthday post.

Happy (30th) Birthday Tessa and Hap-happy (71st) Birthday Grandma!!

April 16th: So, 30 years ago – my mom gave her mother the best birthday gift that anyone could ever give. My Grandmother’s very first grandchild was born on her birthday. Tessa Leona (my big sis) shares a special day of the year w/ our wonderful Grandma! For years, everyone has tried to top this one (and someone did come close *see below*), but it hasn’t been topped yet!

I love these two women very, very much! I don’t know what I’d do w/out them and I’m sure they feel the same. I’m thankful to have such a sweet Grandmother and wonderful sister who I cherish everyday!

April 18th: Now for someone very, very dear to my heart… my youngest niece. We were all hoping for 3 birthdays on April 16th… then my sister could have made my Grandmother’s birthday even more special… but lil miss Cassidy Brooke decided she wanted her very own day of the year. She wasn’t ready to share w/ anyone!

Cassidy is such a vibrant, beautiful, whimsical lil girl! I think about and pray for her often… there’s not a day that goes by that she’s not on my heart (along w/ Savannah and Caleb!). I have so many wonderful memories w/ this girl as she’s grown up through the years and look forward to many more!

Happy 26th Birthday Ryan!

April 22nd: Last but certainly not least is my wonderful husband Ryan! We’ve been married for close to 4 years now and I couldn’t have asked God for a better husband! I feel so blessed to walk through this journey called life w/ him by my side – encouraging, comforting, and inspiring me onward!

So April is a month of celebrating some wonderful people in my life! I appreciate each one of these people for different reasons and am thankful for their lives!
