who celebrates their 43rd birthday today?

Melissa.

Melissa is my oldest sister (the oldest of nine children). Here she is on her fourth birthday. She's an incredible sister. She's always taken good care of me when I was little and even as I got older. I remember when her daughter Katelyn was born (she'll turn 21 this year) and staying with them at their house. She's even taken me on their family vacations (the California Coast and Hawaii). Melissa is an amazing teacher. She currently teaches second grade (my favorite grade) and she's the best!

We love you, Melissa! Happy Birthday!
