Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Birthdays have a way of reminding us of what truly matters, and this one reminded me just how incredibly blessed I am. I don't take a single friendship, conversation, hug, or birthday wish for granted.
I am truly overwhelmed by the love, the kind words, the birthday wishes, the dinners out with friends and by everyone who stopped by State Street on LaSalle to celebrate with me. Seeing our bar filled with friends, family, guests, and so many familiar faces was a gift I'll never forget.
To my incredible team—and Mel for writing such beautiful words on our FB page—thank you. I don't see myself the way you described me, but I will treasure your words forever. The truth is, any success I've had is because I've been blessed to be surrounded by extraordinary people. You inspire me every day, and it is an honor to work alongside you all!
To everyone who has supported State Street on LaSalle (and in previous years, State Street Market,) shared a meal with us, celebrated life's milestones with us, or simply walked through our doors—thank you for allowing us to be a part of your lives. Those relationships mean more to me than you'll ever know.
Thank you all for making this a very meaningful birthday. Whether it was in person, a post, text or phone call; it meant so much! Many posts took me down memory lane. My heart is so full, and I am grateful beyond words. I'm excited to see what this next year will bring!
With love,
Terri
