Welcome to Club 30

Our adorable niece/friend Shawna turned 30 last month, joining fellow Club 30 relatives like her husband, Jake, Lanelle, & myself..... I think everyone else is in their 20's or younger or in their 40's or older. We celebrated this glorious milestone by "attempting" to throw her a suprise birthday party. She is too clever & figured it out . . . but we still love her.

Shawna....if you ever find yourself wondering ....why does my family love me so much? Here are only a few of the millions of reasons why:
YOU...
1. ...wear your smile on the inside & outside more regularly than most.
2. ...are a loving, attentive, playful, creative, nurturing, & unselfish mother.
3. ...love God, & are raising your family up in Him.
4. ...have a fun sense of humor - our lives would be a bore without you.
5. ...try to always see the best in others.
6. ...are a caring generous sister to your siblings, & daughter to your mom.
7. ...are grateful & humble.
8. ...are all around incredible person!
