Aunt Rae

Happy Birthday to my GREAT Aunt Rae! Emphasis on "great", because she really, really is. And today I am thankful for her. Today I had to work, but just as I was finishing up, my phone rang and it was Aunt Rae! She was calling on her birthday to invite me to lunch for MY birthday. I'm so excited, and pretty much thrilled that I am cool enough to spend time with her during November... which is Jubilee of Trees month. Which means hardly anyone except Uncle Ted and her fellow hospital volunteers get to see her this month :) But I do!

When Stephen told me last year that he had gotten the job in St. George, I was ok with that because Aunt Rae and Uncle Ted are here. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure I would have been scared to death. Aunt Rae was there when I was born, she came to my baptism, she came to my wedding, and she's been part of my life countless times in between. She truly amazes me. She holds the 2nd highest number of lifetime volunteer hours at the Dixie Medical Center. The #1 lady is 91 years old, and still going strong. That's hard to beat. She's busier than anyone I know, and still has time to take care of Uncle Ted. I'm so glad she has been part of my life!
