Happy Birthday, Stephanie!

Dear Hearts,

July 8th is the birthday of Stephanie Falconer Sullivan: daughter of Robert and Jill Falconer; wife of Paul; mother of Hannah, Jack, Emma, Liam, Callum and Ewan; sister, cousin, aunt, niece and friend to many more lucky folks. Stephanie hails from Thurso, Highland, the most northerly town on the British mainland and a beautiful place.

Stephanie is a loving, faithful, hard-working, creative and hilarious woman who is wise beyond her years. She seems to have sorted out what is truly important and what's not in the day-to-day life of a wife and mom. She does not waiver in the face of challenge, as evidenced by her recent backpacking trek through Zion Narrows--18 miles of hiking, sometimes through chest-high water!

She is a talented horsewoman, enjoying excursions on her horse, Joker. We all benefit from Stephanie's terrific talent as a photographer, as well as her written stories of her life as a wife and mom of six very active, talented and busy kids.

Happy Birthday, Stephanie, and may you have 80 more healthy ones, by the Aunt Joannie Sullivan Law of Longevity Aspiration of 2008.

God bless us and save us and keep us from harm.

Love, Patty
