Happy Birthday, Melinda!

Today is my sister-in-law's birthday! This is her first birthday as an "official" member of our family, since they were engaged but not yet married on this date last year. She and my brother have just moved to Dallas, so I am hoping that Dan has some wonderfully fantastic celebration up his sleeve there. Dan? We did send a card, but, as with so many things we do, I'm afraid it might be late. But I want her to know that we are thinking of her today on her special day, and hoping it is a great one for her!

The boys really love their Aunt Melinda, and Caleb frequently asks when she and Uncle Dan are coming back to visit. Once in the commissary, Caleb saw another woman who looked vaguely like Melinda (young, blond hair, same height, etc.). He was thrilled, and called out, "Aunt Melinda, Aunt Melinda!" Her name obviously wasn't Melinda, since she didn't even turn around or notice, and I had to explain (again) that Aunt Melinda was not going to be showing up as a part of our daily routine, since she lived far away! We're hoping we can get down to Texas to visit them and see their new house sometime. Nathan has always wanted to visit Texas, and he was so happy when they moved there!

Happy birthday, Melinda! We love you!

That would be nice though to be able to bump into family memebers :)
