Recently we celebrated the milestone 40th birthday for our dear BRF, Petunia. Bea came up with the idea of compiling a group list of the 40 things we love about Petunia. So here is that list and our continued celebration of Petunia, even better in her 40th year!
1.
Supermom:
I love that she makes her children her number 1 priority! Running two businesses doesn't keep her from
being present and active in her boys’ lives!
2. Super-runner: I love that she never misses a beat with the running group. Even having a baby hardly slows her down!
3. Super-friend: I love that Petunia is a good listener. It's easy to spout advice at a friend, but it special to find someone who hears you!
4. Honesty and Dependability
5. Petunia's love of desserts!
6. Her route flexibility! :) (she is most easy going with routes!)
7. Love of her running shoes, loves them so much they have holes in them!
8. That her second pregnancy was often fueled by chocolate chip cookie dough
9. That she slows down when she is pregnant so I get a good solid 6-7 months of her running my pace:)
10. I adore her positive outlook.
11. I admire her determination.
12. I love her witty spunk.
13. She's a dear BRF, if I need a run, I know I can text her. She'll run anytime, anywhere.
14. I love her entrepreneurial spirit. It was so cool seeing how proud she was when her company's facebook page hit 10K likes. Of course, it's only grown since then!
15. I love the way she talks about her mother and those stories. It's an example of how she loves. She really seems to love to the core and unconditionally regardless of any of their quirks. (and heaven knows we all have quirks)
16. Her strength. She shows her strength and determination every day but I still get choked up at the idea of her son having seizures. I know as a mother you go in survival mode but seizures are beyond scary. That is real.
17. I may have read way too much into it but I also saw something more relaxed about her this last time I saw her. She seemed really happy so I hope she carries this into her 40's. She has a lot to be proud of!
18. Petunia is.. Grace under pressure
19. Beautiful inside and out
20. Extremely bright and witty
21. Speedy runner while carrying on a conversation (that is if you can keep up with her)
22. Extremely creative
23. Incredible patience and love for her sons
24. Determined
25. Calm
26. you can tell she is pregger when you can finally run faster than her
27. strong faith in God despite living through some extremely challenging life situations
28. impressive entrepreneur and savvy business owner that runs a successful company
29. wonderful mother, wife, sister, daughter
30. makes excellent baked goods
31. sells unique gifts that she hand delivers and wraps
32. she has no idea how to keep a steady pace, all she knows is a fast pace and faster pace.
33. Love that she does not like running behind anyone (unrestricted) which usually makes her Leader of the pack and one must engage her in conversation if we don’t want her to lead us at sub 9 minute miles or lower!
34. she can survive on cheese and cheese only for dinner (well wine and cheese)
35. quick to make fun of herself and doesn't take herself too seriously
36. among her many talents, a very gifted writer.
37. That she gets “hibernatey” this time of year.
38. That she has a portable shopping mecca in her trunk at all times and allows us to go trunk shopping.
39. Love her HAIR!
40. That we are comrades in procrastination when it comes to photo management & our annual calendars.
We could go on but these are just some of the things we love about you, Petunia. XOXO
