Happy Birthday Reese

Today is our "adopted" daughter's birthday. Teresa, aka Reese, has been a part of our lives for the last 16 or 17 years! We got to know her when she was still in college and needed a place to stay during breaks. Reese lost both of her parents when she was a teenager so we have tried to be fill-in parents as much as we can. We quickly became attached and have been through a lot together over the years including family deaths, Reese graduating from college and marrying the man of her dreams, them living in England for a year, and David and Reese having their two beautiful kids, Rebekah and Nathan. (We get the honorary titles of Grandma Lori and Grandpa Randy! :) ) They all live in Duluth, now, so we don't get to see each other very often. David and Reese pastor a Methodist church in Duluth and are world travelers whenever they can. We are so proud of Teresa and her family and are SO blessed to have them as a part of our lives. Happy birthday my girl! Can't wait to see you all on August 7!!
