February 8, 2011 HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH













February 5, 1977....I remember the day, the hour,  the  moment that you were born, and had not a clue of your gender until I held you in my arms. 
I blinked my eyes, and......wow.....34 years later, you are no longer just my daughter. You have also become a granddaughter, a sister, a wife, a mother.....and a best friend.












 Be strong. Be intelligent. Smile.
Know that beauty has everything to do with how you feel about yourself and nothing to do with looks or other people's opinions.  Never do anything just because everyone else is.  Always be true to yourself. Expect the best from life and that's what you'll get.
Believe in magic and wish on stars.
Love and trust and be compassionate.
Make faces. Play in mud puddles. Take bubble baths.
Turn off all the lights and watch lightning storms.
Dance, laugh, cry, and sing when you want to.
Read everything you can get your hands on.
Stand up for what is right especially if you stand alone. Don't allow yourself or people around you to tolerate prejudices of any kind.
Don't be afraid to try something new.
Do something daring at least once a week.
Run through snow drifts. Spin in circles and roll down hills. Pet puppies, hold kittens, and talk to babies.
Stay up to watch the sunrise.
Never apologize for being a woman or for being yourself.
Never forget that I love you , no matter how far apart we are,  you will always be my daughter.
I'LL LOVE YOUR FOREVER
I'LL LIKE YOU FOR ALWAYS,
AS LONG AS I'M LIVING
MY BABY YOU'LL BE.

Sarah's favorite place to celebrate her birthday is the Japanese steak house.
Landon's first visit there was priceless!!!
A fun time was had by all.
The evening was topped off by Sarah blowing our her 34 candles.












Fast forward..........5 years......
Yep, today is Sarah's 39th birthday! 
Today.....February 5th, 2016

New precious addition (Katelyn) to your family. I think she is gonna give you.....what you gave us!!!!!















You are as beautiful and smart today, as you were 5 years ago.... actually, you are wiser! 
You go, girl!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ♥
