Today is Lauren’s 25th birthday, but this is not just any birthday. This is her uber-birthday, where for one time in her life, she can say her age and birth date are THE SAME. That’s right, today Lauren turns 25 on the 25th. We celebrated this weekend with a trip to Rome, which, amazingly is possible now that we are just a quick hop away with plenty of cheap airlines fighting for our business. We had a great time, and it was great to enjoy travel and adventure with my wonderful wife.
As many of you have experienced, Lauren is an incredibly thoughtful and compassionate person who is always willing to laugh with those who laugh, and mourn with those who mourn. This move to England has been especially hard for her, but through it all she has been amazingly strong and supportive. Every day I get to come home to her smile and great cooking, and I never want to forget what a gift and blessing Lauren is. I know that like me, you are thankful for Lauren and her 25 years of life, so feel free to post or email her a happy birthday message!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAUREN! I assume this picture is in your flat. You look so cute in the kitchen. I can't wait to see some pictures from Rome. Not too many people I know can say they went there for their birthday! What fun. Keep your chin up and know that we all miss and love you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LAUREN!! We miss you guys very much. I love being able to read all about your travels and see the pictures. This was such a great idea! Glad to hear things are going well across The Pond. Have a wonderful birthday!
Happy 25th Lauren!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Is it weird that I've only known about your blog for two days and I've checked it at least once both days??? I feel a bit like a stalker.
i think its called a 'golden birthday'. no one seems to know the real term, but there is one. Happy birthday to Lauren (and the post card).

Keep us updated so we can celebrate with you and keep track of you. We miss you LOTS! And Nick, you have captured the beauty of your wife in both your words and your photography...what a gifted man you are!
Thank you all SO much! It is pretty lonely here still, so it makes me really happy to be reminded of all the people who love us state-side. We have the best friends and the best families, and we were crazy to leave you all :-). Just hearing from you made it the best golden birthday I've ever had.
Love, Lauren
