🦅 DAY 203 UPDATE: HARD WORK, FULL HEARTS & BIRTHDAY WISHES! 🎂
Another day, another step closer to bringing our beloved Nest back to life.
Today, we rolled up our sleeves and continued the hard work of cleaning and preparing the Nest. Every bit of progress matters, and we’re putting our time, energy, and love into making this place ready to welcome our Nest family home again.
But today was especially meaningful because we’re celebrating the birthday of someone who means the world to us.
Happy birthday to Whitney, the heart, backbone, and mother of the Nest!
After a productive day, we traded our cleaning supplies for a birthday dinner at The Great American Saloon.
Mom, I truly couldn’t have asked for a better mother. You’re my biggest supporter, my constant, and the person I know I can always count on. You give so much of yourself to our family, our staff, and everyone fortunate enough to know you. Much of what you do happens behind the scenes, but none of it goes unnoticed.
And, of course, the furry family knows how lucky they are to have you as their momma and grandmama. From extra cuddles to endless spoiling and unconditional love, the dogs and cats couldn’t ask for anyone better.
These past 203 days have reminded us how much strength, patience, and heart it takes to keep moving forward. The Nest may still be under construction, but its heart has never stopped beating, and Mom, you are such an important part of that heart.
I hope you know how loved, appreciated, and cherished you are, not just today, but every day.
Here’s to another year of love, laughter, and, hopefully, celebrating your next birthday inside our beautiful, rebuilt Nest.
Happy birthday, Mom. We love you to the Nest and back! ❤️
