Awww, CORT! That is SO sweet and was the perfect post to make me cry and laugh at the exact same time. Thank you for taking the time to make a LIST for me and dedicating a whole blog to my birthday! (Especially when you are busy enough already, I'm sure!).
I totally agree that God has blessed us four sisters with best friends in each other. Something I already hope and pray for my girls.
You're the best, Cort. Thank you for making me feel special on my **th birthday! Ha ha....
I love you!
I should post here since the birthday girl wouldn't answer her phone yesterday:) Maybe this will get to her...How to be Chels--Chew Cinammon gum your entire childhood, get easily annoyed (runs in the family), counsel EVERYONE (she should get paid), take on responsibilites that aren't hers just to make sure the little things get done...Love you sister!
I know! I didn't get to talk to anyone! That's because Mark had me too busy!! (Breakfast in bed, a picnic lunch with the girls, and then I left immediately for the SPA for 5 hours!!!! And, then straight to dinner and a date! I know, it was a rough day. :) So, I'm sorry I didn't get to talk to anyone. I knew you called though and appreciated you thinking of me. :)
Always be GENUINELY gracious, firendly, warm, and caring.
Happy Bithday, Chelsea. I dion't mind admitting your age on line....Happy 19th Birthday!
