So often since I've started blogging, I've had delusions of grandeur that I would make a birthday dedication post to all my friends and family who I know read this blog. I think I did it once, maybe, for my husband. Well, today makes twice! Today is my amazing sister-in-law's birthday. Mike and Becky started dating (if you call it that when you are 15) right before I went to college, so even though I knew her and always liked her, we weren't close.
Then we were both given the disguised gift of having to take adminstrative jobs at the church. For a year and a half, we sat about 3 feet apart and experienced that depth of friendship that happens when you have someone you really like within talking distance for 8 hours a day, months and months at a time. We talked about everything from our families to church politics to random and trivial things like TV shows and our bad hair days. I knew it was fun, but at the time I didn't realize what a blessing it was that I was being given a foundation with my brother's wife that was transforming us from friends to sisters.
Becky is an amazing singer, friend, wife, sister and mother. I love you, Becky, and hope you have a WONDERFUL birthday!

Talk about a LOVE FEST!:) Sheesh, I remember when Mike and Becky were dating in highschool and they were nauseatingly adorable even back then!:) But I know Beck is more than just sweet...she's not your one-dimensional gal...she never ceased to surprise and amaze me with her vast array of talents. And she's got a great sense of humor too! Happy b-day Becky!
Woot! Happy Birthday, Beck! We all love you tons!
Thanks for the sweet post Jen. After seeing how many "subscribers" you have to your blog- I feel honored to have my very own post. :) I'm certainly blessed to have you for a sister and had so much fun seeing you and Carson today. A girl couldn't ask for more- an incredible family, wonderful friends..yup it's a good day.
YEAH BECKY! Happy Bday!
And Jen...are you 15 in that first picture???? you look so young!! Maybe that was taken after you were done skiing upside down??!!
Actually, that first pic was a couple years ago when we did the bungee thing after camping for 3 days. It was post-Carson and pre-shower.
