We really liked what we saw of Cincy. We are trying to figure out why the branch of Tims company isnt HUGE there!! There is so much industry! There is an office…but they arent too spectacular. Tim’s goal is in 5 yrs to be running a city….so who knows!??!! :)
Happy Birthday!

I just noticed your new ticker on the bottom of the growth of your baby. That is amazing! I have never seen one quite like that. That certainly sends a powerful message about life doesn’t it?!
Thank you for all your birthday wishes. It was a fun day. My birthday just happened to fall on our monthly girl’s night out dinner. The girl’s all treated me and gave me some lovely presents. Last year I was in London and on my b-day and I had a girl’s night out too! It is such a blessing to have two sets of best girlfriends in two countries! I love when we are all able to be seated at a round table in a resturant and that happened this year and in London. I will posts some pics. Unfortunately I forgot to take a group shot this year. But did get one of me and my pressie’s. :sunny:
Sarah isn’t that a great ticker. Yes it is very powerful. The children really like it too. :heartbeat:
