From Yonah Bottrill

Happy 30th Birthday Emily! I remember the first time we met in Virginia in 2003. You graciously opened up your home to me, Adam, Danny, and our 2 obnoxious parakeets when our apartment was flooded with raw sewage. I quickly learned how much we had in common, and what a fun person you were to be around. You got me laughing and smiling... even when some of our household items got covered with other people's poo :) Despite the years, and the navy bringing us to different parts of the country, I'm so grateful that we've been able to maintain our friendship. Hope your Birthday is grand!
