happy birthday

(Taken on the day I entered the MTC-has time been good to us or what?!)


It was her birthday today.
I call her Lala
She calls me Flicka
We are friends
Best friends I guess you could say
I have said that God loved me so much he actually uprooted an entire family back in 1987 and forced them to move to Missouri because he knew...
Knew how much I would need her over the years
The many, many years
And that her influence would have a huge impact on my life
Probably bigger than she knows or admits to knowing.
I can confidently say that the woman I am today is due largly in part to her
And for that I want to publicly thank her.
She is Luke 1:28
Happy Birthday friend
I love you , I love you , I love you!

She convinces me I am Luke 1:28
And for that...and so many other things, I bless her name forever.

I love YOU, Tam.
