Happy Birthday!!

Adam and Thelma (stolen from Thelma's blog)

Could 2 people be more in sync than Adam and Thelma? Their mom's went to college together (same major and everything), their dad's share the same birthday, Adam and Thelma even share the same birthday, anniversary and children!!

Adam has always been the leader in the family. He came into the world first and showed us all how perfect a child could be (which may be why we all seem like delinquents when compared to him). Who could ask for a better older brother? He is smart, funny, ate "gum" off the grass in home videos, has a great family and gives the best wedding toasts ever (and I would know!). Adam also picked a great spouse.

I remember the first time I heard about Thelma. Adam mentioned he was writing her when he was on his mission. It was on a tape he sent home and I thought he was talking about Velma, a nice, elderly lady we went to church with. I am happy to report the real Thelma is also nice, but not elderly. :)

The first time (that I remember) Adam and Thelma coming to visit our family was before they were married. We went to Seattle and someone stole dad's scriptures from the van. I am sure everyone knew they would get married... I was like 13 and had no clue. A few months later I got my first, and favorite, sister in law.

It is impossible for me to think of Adam without Thelma and vice versa. I have lots of good memories of the two of them:

Forgetting clothes at their wedding

Camping in Oregon while she was preggo with Braeden

Them making me an aunt

Homeless man calling Braeden a "blueberry"

My stay with them in CT

Thelma's morning sickness

Newsies (still one of my favorite movies)

Road trips all over New England

Getting stuck in an elevator in Manhattan

San Fransisco and Tahoe

Yummy family dinner's at their house

Trips to Cascade Park

Christmas Carols at the piano

I am lucky to have 2 great people in my life and wish them the happiest of birthdays!!
