That's me, today. Twenty-nine years old. And I'm excited about it. It seems eerily close to thirty, but I think I'm okay with thirty too, so I'm not going to freak out about its younger year, twenty-nine.
Rory and I are flying to San Francisco today to spend the weekend with our friends John and Shannon. John and Rory are both business owners, and speak their own language when they are together. Shannon and I both are seminary grads, and could talk or not talk for hours. (can anyone name that line? it's an all-time favorite movie quote of mine...) We're so excited to reconnect with these friends.
Mom, thanks for pushing so hard twenty nine years ago today. Mom and Dad, thanks for raising me in such a happy, healthy home and for living your lives and faith so fully and creatively. Mat and Annika, thanks for being my big brother and big sister. I love being the baby in the family. Rory, thanks for being the best thing that happened to me during my twenty-forth year of life.
Life is good, and I am happy. This is a happy, happy birthday.

Happy Birthday, Becca! Enjoy your time with friends in San Fran.
Yay! It's your Birthday. Thanks for a lovely post. You have always been a fabulous little sister! Thanks for putting up with me during both of our phases of bad perms and braces.
I love you.

Happy birthday, Becca! I am so glad Rory found and wooed you and that you and I are friends! You are amazing and lovely. Two adjectives I don't throw around loosely.
Have a great trip!
