Happy 22nd Birthday, Alyssa! Wow, time flies! You’ve always been so much more mature than your young age conveys! I am especially proud of the wife, mother, daughter, friend, and Christian you’ve become! This past year of visits together has been an absolute highlight for me! You’ve made me feel so loved, and the time you take to FaceTime together with Allie Jane seems to somehow shorten the miles! Your middle name is JOY, and your personality says, “FUN!” It’s no wonder, the kids beg to visit you so often! Much of my time is spent thinking of ways I can plan another opportunity to see you, because whenever you’re around, it seems like the place livens up with fun, laughter, and excitement! I so miss our shopping sprees and lunch dates; if you were here, we’d head to O’Charleys!! Love you!! 😘
