Do you know what today is? If you guessed my sister-in-law’s birthday, you’re correct!! It’s not just any birthday though – Lauren turns the big 3-0 today! Hooray!!

Lauren is an immensely kind-hearted person. She cares so much about the well-being of others and has dedicated herself to teaching children with special needs. She also has a stellar sense of humor. The two of us will cry laughing over something that nobody else thinks is that funny – like this ridiculous SNL skit with Shia LaBoeuf. We always have an amazing time together, whether we’re shopping, going walking, attempting to make hummus, eating all of the fondue at a family outing, or just hanging around the house. I LOVE HER – and I love that she has brought an insurmountable measure of joy to my brother, Adam’s, life.

Here are some photos from our visit in July. Lauren is frequently seen giggling, so I adore this photo!
Lauren painstakingly climbed up this rock to take some photos with Adam. It took a lot of bravery and upper body strength…only for George to discover that there were easily accessible stairs built into the back of the rock! Classic.
 Things I like here – 1) We’re giggling over how Lauren grabbed my butt the last time we took photos together and 2) I look taller This is Lucky, my nephew. He looooooves Lauren.My happy Family!
Happy birthday, Sister! Sending you lots of love from across the country!!
