Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday today to our own JoAnne Simmons! She's a blessing to work with, as well as a good friend.

Today is also my nephew Aaron's birthday. We are so thankful he is here to celebrate it. Thanks to your many prayers, he is showing daily signs of improvement. He is in a rehab center and will soon go to a room where he won't need 24-hour nursing. We are so grateful.

Happy birthday, JoAnne. If you're even a smidge as happy as you've made me this week, you're going to be flying high! :)

Happy Birthday JoAnne!! I hope you are having a wonderful birthday! (Today is also my "baby's" birthday - - my son is 17!). ~ Becky, so glad your nephew is improving...I'll continue praying for him. ~ ~ My ONLY regret with the ACFW Conference is that I never got to meet the 3 of you, Becky, JoAnne, and Susan. I did see you all from a distance though-LOL! Blessings, Patti Jo Moore from Georgia :)

I'm glad Aaron is doing better and can celebrate his birthday.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes. It's been a great day. I just got home from a birthday party for a little 1-year-old friend named Brenna who shares the same birthday. Fun!

I didn't realize until today that I share a birthday with Aaron. I'm so glad he and his family are celebrating it today, too. The power of prayer is amazing!

Happy Birthday, JoAnne. Hope you had lots of cake and ice cream. It's a once-a-year guilt-free plurge.

JOANNE! While we were carrying on and generally embarrasssing Susan Downs to death over her birthday you never said a WORD.

Rememeber this for next year all you readers of Edit Cafe.

Glad to hear Aaron is improving, too, Becky.

Debby Mayne said...

That's right, Mary. Next year we can embarrass both of them.

JoAnne said...

Well, since my birhtday wasn't actually during ACFW, who am I to have stolen Susan's thunder?
LOL :)

Happy birthday, JoAnne. We should have celebrated for you at the conference, too. It was so close.
