Dear Kiersten, Happy 29th Birthday!
What a joy it has been to watch you grow into the incredible woman you are today. As my goddaughter and niece, you hold such a special place in my heart. Truthfully, all of my nieces are treasures to me, and I love each of you to pieces.
We’ve shared so many wonderful memories over the years—from family dinners and celebrations to dancing up a storm (especially after a marathon!) and singing along to our favorite rock and roll legends, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Running has always been one of my greatest passions, so it has been especially exciting to watch you become such an accomplished runner. I couldn’t be prouder of you.
Congratulations again on your engagement to Ryan! I know the two of you will build a beautiful life together, and I can’t wait to see you on your wedding day. You will be an absolutely beautiful bride—inside and out. Now the big question is...will Chief be the ring bearer? 😊 Knowing how much you adore your sweet boy (and even bring his own beach tent so he can stay cool!), I wouldn’t be surprised! Your love for animals is just one more thing that makes you so special.
Wishing you a birthday filled with love, laughter, and all the happiness you bring to everyone around you. Here’s to an amazing year ahead and all the wonderful adventures still to come.
Love you always,
Auntie Susan and Uncle TDawg
