Love from AZ
Just another February 11th, but
Unlike others before, because
Leading the way among the Egan clan
Is the wise sister-in-law who has
Earned our love and trust.
I’ve know you more than half my life,
So your influence is immeasurable.
From recipes and mothering tips,
Or making my 5th grade Valentine box, to
Reading books you recommend,
Thanks for all you've done for me-
You’ve helped me become who I am.
I'm so glad you are you and I get to be related to you!
Happy 40th!!
Love, Kelly
(and the rest of the Mear fam)

Happy 40th from your Closest Brother-in-Law
Julie
It may be hard to believe you're 40, but it's even harder to believe that I've known you for more than half of those years. Of course when I left on my mission,you were just some girl that Erik knew, and by the time I got home you were my sister-in-law! Then just a few months later you made me an uncle for the first time (one of my favorite roles in life, if you hadn't noticed).
It has been great over the years to watch you and Erik from a distance as you seem to effortlessly raise such a great family. We're so glad that we now get to live so close and get together with you much more often. You're great examples to us of awesome parents and I've already lost count of how many times you have helped us out in so many ways. We love spending time with you and your kids. You may not realize how much I look up to and admire you and Erik.
Thanks for being such a great wife to my brother, mother to my nieces and nephews, aunt to my children, daughter-in-law to my parents, and sister-in-law to me, Holly, and the rest of my siblings.
Make the next 40 years even better than the first 40!
Love,
Ben

Fun Days at BYU
Julie,
It's been so long since we've seen each other but it seems like just yesterday that we had that fun summer as roommates at RainTree. Rick and I were laughing last night about the time that you and I almost saw too much of Jason Turner in the bathroom of their apartment. Rick will never forget the look on Jason's face as he came screaming and running out of the bathroom that day. I guess that's what we get for being in their apartment stealing soda and them coming home. We thought hiding in the bath tub and pulling the shower curtain closed was a great place to hide until Jason came in to use the bathroom. Do you remember us looking at each other and knowing we had to do something to let him know we were there. When he heard us start laughing it was such a suprise for him. I wonder if he remembers that day? Ha Ha We had a lot of fun after we swiped that key to their apartment. My kids had not heard that story before and couldn't believe their mom would do such a thing :) Hope you have a great birthday!! Next time you are in Utah please look us up. We'd love to see you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Love,
Rick and Kim Lalliss

A sister of sorts...
Julie,
First of all you are not old! You just now officially know better. As your older brother of sorts I wanted to tell you what an amazing sister you are and dear friend. Thank you for loving my daughter when I was raising her as a single dad. It was nice to have you along with a few other of my special forces sisters in 3rd ward step in and love my sweet daughter. Thank you for sharing your mom and dad with us and letting us stay at their home, and for including us on many family dinners and holidays. You are truly a daughter of infinite worth and a cherished friend. You, Eric and I and now Stacy will remain friends forever. Thank you for making my wedding day so special with the wonderful catering job you did. Thank you for all the clients you have referred me and for the occassional call to see how I am doing. I see the light of Christ in you and appreciate your example.
Please know that now that you are 40, you belong to a special league of wise adults. Your wisdom will have a deeper meaning than before, especially when you say your age.. if that doesnt work just share your weight. Wait.. I am almost 43 so I knew better than to say that.. Dont worry I will go back and erase that before I post.
Julie, May God truly bless you. May your arrival to the decade of wisdom, fun cause you deserve it, and the beginning of kids leaving the nest be constantly filled with blessings and laughter.
At the end of the day, take an opportunity to give thanks, like I know you do, because you have made a difference in my life and I am sure many others.
By the way you dont look 40, so that is even cooler.
Happy Birthday
Love your brother Jay!
