From Rachel...

Heather,

I've put off writing an entry trying to come up with something original, funny, and/ or charming to tell you what a great friend and person I think you are. Ultimately, my pregnant mind has not allowed me to be creative - so plain and straightforward will have to suffice. Heather - you are one of a kind! Never have I had a friend like you. You are so fun to be with. Preston and I miss our date nights with you and Ron more than anything! You are so easy going, I love that about you. You are the most efficient person I have every met. Your mind works in ways that mine can't comprehend. I've never known anyone to bargain hunt like you. I'll never forget when I was pregnant with Annie and you gave me the low down on how to "shop" the GAP. I figure you probably have saved me a couple thousand dollars over the last 8 years just by what you taught. ;) In fact I think they've changed their return policy/ price adjustments because of you. You were going to run them out of business! I also have happy memories of yummy Jamba Juice and swedish fish brought to me at the hospital when I've had my babies. (Hint, hint)

Your eye for photography is evident in the amazing business you have built. But what is most impressive is the hours and hours you have put into learning and growing your business. ( I remember when Preston had to come to your house to set up your computer for you. ) You truly have a great work ethic that has made you successful - none of it has come by luck - but by hard work.

What I most love about you Heather is your kind heart. You have been there for me so many times and have listened and cared. You have always been good about opening your circle and pulling people in, and I count it as one of my greatest blessings that I was one of those people so many years ago. I hope you are having an amazing time in NYC and I hope that one of these times it will be us on a trip together!

You look amazing and you truly have the best ahead of you!

Love,
Rachel
