Happy Birthday, Olivia

Today is Olivia's birthday. She is our one-and-only, best daughter in the whole world, daughter! In this photo she is at the Sea House, Napili Bay, on Maui. That's why she looks so happy :D.

How do you describe this beautiful young woman? Well...she works in a small marketing firm in the East Bay, and she spends a lot of time running for a good cause, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Team in Training, where she is a mentor to new runners. She has run many half and full marathons, including the New York City marathon last year, which her family attended with her. That was an incredible day, never to be forgotten!

She has lots of hobbies: hanging out with friends all over the Bay Area and the state, camping and hiking, reading, photography, knitting and many more. When she was growing up she took dance, piano and cello and played in the orchestra all through school into college. She graduated from Santa Clara University and volunteered for two years in the Jesuit Volunteer Corp in Camden, New Jersey.

Olivia is the classic daughter, the kind people dream of having. Intelligent, tall, beautiful, funny,
sweet, organized, thoughtful, athletic, reliable, accomplished, with a ready, gorgeous smile...

How do you describe this young woman? "Awesome," that's how!

Happy birthday, Liv. We love you THIS...................................................................................much!!!!

Sylvia ~ You must be so proud of your daughter. I've only met her briefly when she's come to church with you. She seems like a wonderful young woman. And I know she's got to be really proud of you, too.
