Julia! What a hero. The very best gift my bro-pals every gave me was finding me new best friends. I am so grateful to have you as one of my go-to phone-a-friend people. Thank you for being encouraging and fun and always down for a good venting session. And YAY for all that is ahead.
Caley! I am so grateful that one of my very last pre-pandemic adventures was exploring Israel with you. Thank you for being such a kind, compassionate friend. And thank you for saving lives as a healthcare hero! You are a rockstar and I’m grateful for you!
Abbey! I am so inspired by your strength and grit — especially over the past year. You are educating young minds, raising a tiny human, and just finished cooking another little babe. I am so impressed and PROUD of you! And cannot wait to get to hug you and celebrate with you in person.
Julia! I cannot wait to hug you and meet those tiny humans. You have had a remarkable year — making people, saving lives. Thank you for being a healthcare hero, and more than that, thank you for being a great friend.
Terah, thank you for being the best pal and the best mom. How you’ve worked and raised two tiny humans and cooked another human during this crazy year is beyond me. You are a total rockstar and I’m amazed! Thanks for inspiring me!
Shelly, you are the definition of the word strong. You not only show strength as a mother and business owner, but you’re actually the strongest person I know. I’m proud to honor you and all that you have built for you and your fam. You are an inspiration for all of us.
Bridget, I’m so proud to celebrate you this year and recognize the amazing human that you are. Knowing you and witnessing the love and energy you bring into the world has been a true honor.
Ellie – my forever sister-friend. Watching you figure out how to care for students through a screen this year has been remarkable. I literally do not know how you do it. Those kids are lucky to have you in their corner — and I am even luckier to have you in mine. Love you!
My mom is the most amazing woman I know. She raised three kids, then went back to school and now has her own business. She taught me that I can do anything I put my mind to—and today I honor her!
Shauna is incredibly loyal, encouraging, humble, strong, confident and kind. She has always gone out of her way for others, whether it’s driving 45 mins to pick someone up who doesn’t have a car, making a meal for a friend, or staying up late to talk. It’s an honor that she calls me best friend!
