HAPPY 25th BIRTHDAY!!!

Today is Laura's 25th Birthday!!!

I'm Mike Foster, and as the other half of Foster Photography I just wanted to take a minute and let everyone know that Laura is really someone quite special.

I remember when I turned twenty five oh so long ago... I just knew that I was going to "wake up dead". Seriously. I even had a buddy of mine tell me that twenty five was the worst birthday ever. Sixteen was a big deal because you can finally drive by yourself. Eighteen was a big deal because you were finally "legal". Twenty one was a big deal because it is a coming of age. And thirty is a big deal because it marks the first decade of "formal" adulthood. So, where does that leave twenty? I mean, you are still in your twenties, but you are now officially closer to thirty than to twenty.

Twenty five  freaked me out because it was my last year of graduate school and I was going to finally set out and go into the "real world". I was scared because for the first time in my life I had absolutely no idea what was next. For those of you who know me you know that it took me a little while longer to "mature". I'm like a nice cut of aged beef... I just needed some seasoning and time to finally become what I was meant to be.

So when I look at my beautiful bride Laura, this amazing woman who is my constant companion and partner, my friend and confidant, my favorite person in the whole wide world, I see someone who at twenty five is more mature, more knowledgeable, and more amazing than people a decade her senior.

She at twenty five is everything people in either their twenties or thirties want to be! I mean, just look at her resume: she loves Jesus with all of her heart, has earned an amazing education, begun a small business, and become a wife and a mother; she has a keen sense of humor, a sharp wit, and laser beam focus all while being the most beautiful woman in the whole wide world!

I mean... wouldn't you at whatever age you are want credentials like her? You betcha do!

So here's to you Laura! You are the most amazing person I've ever had the privilege to meet, and it is my eternal honor to be your husband and friend!

 Happy 25th Birthday!!! I love you with all my heart!
