Birthday Card

IMG_3833These days when everyone texts, tweets, and writes on your wall, it is really rare to get mail…like from the U.S. Postal Service.

This card came in the mail today along with a disc of Conrado’s images from the wedding.

The front reads, “Happy Birthday to my best friend.”  I started tearing up.

Inside it continues, “I’m kidding, you’re like my 3rd best friend, but they don’t sell cards that say that.”  I busted up laughing.

I don’t think Conrado reads my blog so I’ll just tell you what he wrote…so sweet.

“Catch, I couldn’t help but think of you when I saw this card!  You are truly like another sister to me.  I can’t believe you’re all grown up and a married woman.  I can’t wait until you start having kids!  I had a blast at your wedding.  I think you and Dean make a great couple.  Much love and happiness, Conrado”
