Happy Birthday Catherine!

Happy Birthday Catherine!

Thank you for being the greatest big sister a girl could ask for! You have always been there to show me the way and to help me through life. Though you were a bit of wild child growing up, you have become an amazing woman, wife and mother. You may not realize it, but I look up to you so much. 

I love that we get to be best friends and raise our children at the same time.

You are a joy to be around. 

Your energy and bright colors fill me with joy.

My favorite thing lately is bonding over the crazy mom moments we have.

You are beautiful, sweet and have the biggest heart.

A small side story to about 4 years ago:
When I first started dating Garett, he was nervous to meet mom and dad. I laughed and told him not to worry, the one he needed to worry about was you. I always knew that if I ever dated anyone that wasn't good, then you would be the one to tell me. When you came to me and started raving about Garett, I knew he had to be good. You have always been protective of your siblings, but it only because you care fiercely about us. It is no wonder that you are a great mom!

Thank you for everything, for being patient with me as kids and not killing me in my sleep.

As much as I used to complain about it, I think it was sweet that you used to sleep in my bed with me when we had watched a scary movie. 

And the summer before you went to college when we would go to movies all the time together and get frosties with whatever change we had in the car.

You taught be step out of my comfort zone when it came to trying new things and never wanted me to get hurt.

Even after you married Jesse, you never stopped taking care of me and letting me visit y'all in college. 

You really do have the biggest heart and I am grateful for you everyday.
I'm so glad you're my sister and best friend.

I love you with all my heart and I'm so thankful to have you as my sister.

I can't wait to raise our children to be best friends like we are!

I love you Catherine and I hope you're having a wonderful day!

Love,
Your sister

Happy Birthday Garett!

Today is Garett's birthday! 
He is 25, a quarter of a century, a score and 1/4!


The last (almost) 4 years of being together and almost 3 years of marriage have been wonderful!


Not only has Garett been the greatest husband of all time, but now he is the greatest father too!


He brings joy and happiness to all that meet him. 


He has a way of making every day a sunny one, filled with laughter and fun.


He is goofy and sweet and I could not ask for a greater man to share my life with.


Garett puts with my craziness and still manages to love me at the end of each day. 


Thank you my love for always bringing out the best in me and forgiving me at my worst. 


They always say marriage is hard, but with you I feel like marriage is the easiest thing in the world.
Life is hard, but I'm glad I get to go through life with you.


My love for you grows more and more every day. 


I thought when we got married that I couldn't possibly love you more and now that love seems small and cute. My love for you is indescribable and continues to grow and will for always.


Thank you for being my partner in crime, my best friend, my confidant, my love, my husband, and the father of our sweet baby boy. 


We've had to grow up a lot this year with us both graduating from college and having a baby, but it has all been a grand adventure. 


I am looking forward to the next chapter of our lives, wherever it may take us,


Here's to many more birthdays with you! 


I can't wait until we get to the point that we've been married longer than not!


Happy birthday my love! 


I look forward to growing old with you and sharing all the rest of your birthdays through the adventures of life.
I love you Garett and you better never forget it!

-love Megan
