So today Chelsea is ONE QUARTER OF A CENTURY old!! I can't believe it was that long ago she was born!
Just a few reasons why I think Chelsea is who she is:
We were living in Evanston Wyoming when I got pregnant with her and then in Centerville Utah at the time she was born. We moved back to a home we were building in Evanston when she was two months old- Lynn and I think that might be why she loves to move so much and has been such a great sport about it!
She was born almost a month early so the poor little girl had not a bit of hair anywhere- no eyebrows or eyelashes! When she turned one her hair looked just like Rod Stewart- spiky on top, with a mullet in the back. People always asked me if I cut it that way- maybe that's why she went to cosmotology school and does such an awesome job on hair!
She could never ever stand to have her hands dirty and would scream holding her hands out when she was in her high chair after eating until we washed them up- maybe that's why she's so clean today!
She used to sit for an hour in the bottom of my closet and put on all my shoes and LOVED anything with ruffles and gold lame- maybe that's why she dresses her poor little dog in the most hideous outfits!
She used to hate living in the chaos of our house when she was little- she once ran away to my friend Gaye's orderly house when she was three and stayed for three days until Lynn carried her home screaming- maybe that's why she loves making lists and always being on time!
So HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHELS- WE LOVE YOU LOTS! Thanks for being our daughter, bringing Dan into our family, and adding to our growing group of grandchildren!

I never knew that you lived in Evanston... Let's just say that on my last visit to Evanston I decided I would never want to live there. That probably has something to do with the truck stop I ate at, though. I'm sure the rest of Evanston is much better than what I saw at that truck stop. Anyway, happy birtday to Chelsea!
Thanks mom, I dont feel like Im 25 either! All things you said are true, I still cant stand being messy or dirty... or late! I also still have a hard time sometimes with the chaos that comes with our family! love you!
Dear Chels,
I will ALWAYS treasure those days when you "moved in" at my house. You were an angel then and STILL are today! Hope your birthday was the best.
All my love,
Gaye
