was fittingly uttered by the one and only
Amy on the 21st anniversary of her momentous birth,

which we huzzahed beneath summer-implicative sun-blazing brilliance

at the foremost
hotspot for botanical bliss.
Andre Who brandished a deafening bellow for the burgeoning adventure

that saturated the oasis' expansive mountainous-backdropped knolls,

rose-rich arches,

and faraway lands teeming with aesthetic curios


that we valiantly scouted

by foraging ravaging forestry a la neighboring chimpanzee chaps,


scrutinizing tranquil tadpole-flourishing lakes,

bickering about the following (relieving) destination,

trampling untread greenery routes,

weaving in and out of imperial bamboo shoot fortresses enacted by our honorable ancestors,

and calling upon a ravishing candied cottage

that elicited not only our femininity,

but their's, too.

We (i.e.
AlexHong) were awestruck most by the garden's fuana inhabitants,

from audacious ducks,

to vigilant peafowl families,

to inquisitive woodland creatures,

to prim and proud peacocks



among whose regal presence we picnicked



before exhausting more extensively the arboretum's 127 acreage.



Happiest of 21st birthdays to you, mon Ami!

I did not fathom that after our initial chitter chatter at Life those many moons ago, we would be here now - I'm so thankful God brought you into my life! Your salvation and trust in the Lord o'er the past year has been brimming with God's grace for He has worked so extensively in your winsomely quirky and exceedingly caring heart. You are such an encouragement to me in how much you've grown in the knowledge of and love for Him, which is evident in your commitment to the local church, its people, and your lovely loved ones. God is using you mightily for His kingdom, and I pray you continue to grow grow grow in grace and daily fight to treasure Christ above all things in the subsequent seasons of your life. I love you mucho grande nachos, dear (little) sister!
