A, K and E -
I am a day late on this, so consider it a belated birthday blog. The CAKEs had an important day yesterday as one of our own celebrated her special day. Seriously, what would we all do without E? Well, I started contemplating this question and came up with ten things I've learned and love about Miss Emmaline.
(1) Expertise in home decor comes from taking things down and rearranging MULTIPLE times;
(2) cooking can be an adventure, especially when you wind up making curdled milk as pasta sauce;
(3) if a friend asks you to join hot yoga, JUST SAY NO :)
(4) a glass of wine is always more fun when it's shared with Em;
(5) when work becomes a bit mind-numbing, just start a book club - it reminds you that you have brain cells!
(6) her heart to share Jesus and his amazing grace with others;
(7) when life seems to be crumbling all around you, she is the perfect prayer partner;
(8) keep calm and carry on - whether that's with a flea-infestation, mouse sightings, uncertainty about the future, or being on a walker :);
(9) all of life's problems can be solved during a coffee date at Shenandoah Joe's; and
(10) lastly, how we all love the contagious joy and passion she brings to our friendship.
So raise a glass, and join me in toasting our precious friend, Emmaline! Happy Birthday, dear.
Love,
C
Sweet Christen! What a toast! Thank you, thank you, thank you! This made me laugh. Some good memories wrapped up in this little toast. Thanks for blessing me, friend. I feel loved. :)
