Today is February 13. To many that means it is Friday or the day before Valentine’s Day. But here at TMSM today means SO much more than that. Today is the birthday of the lady behind it all, our fearless leader Michele Atwood!
From Michele’s Parents:
Michele, To our birthday girl. So proud of the beautiful person that you have become. It is your special day and we hope you enjoy. Wishing you a very Happy Birthday. With all our love, Mom and Dad .
Happy birthday Michele, Just want to tell you how much I love you and I’m so proud of you and your journey you are on. It was a big decision and a good one, You have done so much with your career and with how big you became is awesome. I will never forget my trip and how spoiled I was and appreciate it all. Your my sister and friend for life so enjoy your day and remember when you look behind you I’m always there. I got your back always.
Shell, it will be strange to not be able to stop by your house and see you for your birthday today. But that’s okay…..you are making you dreams come true down in Florida, and….it is one, YES ONE, degree here today! I hope you know how proud we all are of you!!!!! It has been a magical year for you and I pray this next year is full of even bigger, better, more amazing things because you are deserving of them. You are brave, and smart, and beautiful, and you take all that comes to you in stride, with a humble heart, and you keep going. Keep up the fabulous work you are doing. You make so many people smile, including me! Happy birthday my beautiful friend! Enjoy the day! Scott and boys, give her a huge hug from me!!!! Love you Shell!!!! Happy Birthday!
M, Last year I said in my message to you “You are the mellow to my fire, the rational to my quick to ignite, and an amazing sounding board.” and that hasn’t changed. Thank you for being the yin to my yang, the calm to my fire, and for being a wonderful friend. Few people in my life have been important and trustworthy enough to earn a prefix before the word friend. You my dear are in that hall of fame. Thank you for being a best and thank you for encouraging me to do my best. 🙂 I love you, the boys and Atwood more than cupcakes! <3 Aut
