happy birthday nancy

September is a busy month for birthdays around here. Between Mike and I just about all of our parents days of birth fall in September. Today's birthday is a non-parental one, which isn't too say Nancy isn't a parent because she is, but you know what I mean. You know I have got to get myself some younger friends because these lists are getting long!

The 38 reasons I love Nancy.
