Before I wrote this post, I looked back on the post I wrote you last year… wow was it bad!  My post did nothing to capture just how much you mean to me and how grateful I am that you are in my life!  So this year, I’ll try and do a little better!  Morgan, sometimes its hard to believe how long we’ve been in each others lives.  This is our fifth time celebrating your birthday together!  It seems like just yesterday that we were celebrating the first one together and I was so nervous picking out a gift for you.  I bought you Man on Fire because it was one of your favorite movies, but I didn’t know you well enough yet to know that you only watch a movie once (with the exception of Braveheart).  You’re still hard to give gifts to, by the way!

Today I’m celebrating the Godly man you are today.  You lead me each day to be a little more like Jesus and that’s more than a girl could ever ask for.  On top of that you serve me and others so incredibly well.  I’m so proud of who you’re becoming and all that you’ve accomplished in the last year.  Here’s to a hundred more birthdays that we can celebrate together!  Happy Birthday Morgan!

Love always, Lauren

P.S. since its your birthday I decided that the only appropriate picture was of that time you drove the bus in Guatemala!  We have to remember that (:
