Dear Emma, I made this private blog a little over 7 months ago as a way to write about our experiences together and I decided I wanted to turn it into your birthday present. It started as a simple idea, but it quickly grew into something pretty awesome. In your hands you hold a typewritten hand bound journal that I made for you. 110 pages, 13,000 words, and more memories than I could count. It's been an awesome process to make it and I hope you treasure it and all the memories it holds. I hope you have a wonderful birthday and an amazing year ahead of you. Now you may open your present. Happy Birthday.
