Happy Birthday Steph!

Today Steph is 29......again!

More than anything else, Steph brings vitality to life, raising it beyond simple existence. This has been the case since I first met her. 16 years ago, I was amazed by this girl that was not only blindingly beautiful, but was so active and engaging that it made my life appear to forever be on pause.
Steph:
Job as a nurse in the O.R. (obviously still handy)
Avid Mountain biker
Non-stop vacation planer (gets this from her parents)
Decorator
Did I mention how dang cute she is?

Me:
I like computers

When I saw her and started making my moves (yeah, it was as sad as you imagine), she asked if I liked to Mountain bike. I of course lied and said "yes" so that I had an excuse to be at her house planning our Young Single Adult's trip to Moab. She may have been suspicious when she kept asking me to ride and I told her my hamstring was sprung.

Today Steph continues to be the source of energy and life to our home and all we do and I'm glad some of that comes out in the blog-world.

This is one of my favorite pics of Steph:


We were on the Disney Cruise with her family at a turtle farm in Grand Cayman. It is just soooo Steph to be on an amazing vacation she helped plan, showing our kids something cool (great mom), and looking way hot. Yeah, I'm lucky and know it.

Happy Birthday cutie!
