Happy birthday, Eva! Paula said it so much better, but thank you for everything — the friendship, the fun, the ideas, the advice, — and most of all, thank you for inviting Justin out here and everything that’s brought with it. I’ve been so happy with Justin and Violet in my life. I often wonder how different my life would be if you hadn’t gotten the idea that he might be a fun guy to have around. 
It’s been so much fun growing up with you the past 5 years and all the changes we’ve gone through going through the transitions from singlehood to married life, motherhood and more. May this year be amazing, exciting, fun, full of change and… beachy?
And I want to say happy birthday to two special friends, Linda and Sherry… two more wonderful cancer women and moms. Thanks for being such sweet, fun friends too. My wish is for Linda to have a girl and maybe name her… um… Nadia? Nyahahah. And my wish for Sherry is that you get to come visit this year. — I can pray, can’t I? Oh, alright, they’re both a bit selfish, but happy birthday and have a wonderful new year.– Hugs to you both.
