Happy Birthday, Stephanie!

Dear Hearts,

Keep taking those selfies, Steph, it's the only
way we see pics of you!

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. Her talents are diverse, from experienced horsewoman, to terrific photographer, gifted writer and expert sports fan.

Luna is her new horse companion and Stephanie loves working with this rescue Arabian horse who she adopted from California. Life is busy with kids going to and from college, studying abroad, traveling around for sports, etc., but Stephanie was particularly happy when the whole family was able to sneak away for an idyllic vacation to Havasupi. Four days of backpacking, hiking, swimming, and just being together with no technology was perfect. In Stephanie's words, "We ate at the Indian frybread stand, have sore muscles as badges of honor tonight and lots of wonderful memories.

Happy Birthday, Stephanie, and may you have 78 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
