Sorry I'm late but I technically still have 18 minutes! It is tough to find computer time with four toddlers. Oh wait, you know that!
When I turned 40
I complained to my boss about turning 40, and he said "it beats the alternative!!". I've always remembered that anytime someone I know turns 40 and on every birthday I've had ever since that one.
I hope you had a great birthday!
Love,
Robby S
Hey, you're 40. You're too old to be calling me "uncle"!

Happy birthday, MB!
Happiest of birthdays to you, Mary Beth! You'll never know how much your friendship meant to me when I lived in Oxford. It was so nice to have another Georgia girl (and a below-the-gnat-line one at that) who I could talk to. And I will always treasure the times we spent together at SFA events - they're priceless as are you! When it comes down to it, I just want to be like Mary Beth when I grow up :-) Happy birthday!!! Love, Renna

Welcome to the Cougar Club (according to my husband)
So, what else can a friend do but try to have her baby who was forcing her way out on your birthday??
That's serious love!
Happy 40th! Sending you all my love! Now let's enjoy the heck out of the next 10 years...:)
Love SarahBk

Happy, happy birthday, Mary Beth!
Happiest of days to you, Mary Beth! I know that time flies, but it's still hard to believe that it has gone so quickly. I still have vivid memories of debate trips, charades nights and going to visit you at Notre Dame. I hope that you have a wonderful birthday and I hope that our paths cross again soon!
Best,
Katie Coakley
Happy 40th Birthday!!!
You have played a major role in many of my fondest childhood memories. Happy 40th Birthday, MaryBeth…may your next 40 years be even more blessed and entertaining than the past 40 years!
Love,
Sarah Lamprey
(Unfortunately it looks like we didn't take as many photos in high school. I wish I could've found a picture of you in one of our recliners.)
40 Years
On this day 40 years ago, you initiated my most important job description: Mama. (When I was principal at St. John's, I used to tell young mothers that it's the hardest job you'll ever do!)
I remember reading Dr. Dobson's The Strong-Willed Child when you were little, but that strong will has served you well and helped you accomplish so many things! And I learned to pick my battles! For example, when you were in kindergarten, I chose your outfits Monday through Friday, but you could wear anything you wanted on Saturday. That was the day you usually spent with Granny, anyway 🤣.
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Mary Beth!
Here are some pictures I took of you at Grandma & Grandpa's house. My favorite is on the left. I think I put that orange ribbon in your hair just before taking the picture.
Watching you grow from an adorable little girl into a great wife and mom has been so much fun! Happy 4Oth birthday! May you blessed with many, many more!
With lots of love,
Aunt Cathy

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MB!
Check us out in Memphis for Dead Day, 2001. I think that was my first week in Oxford and, boy, what a time! I'll always remember those days with a smile on my face, and I'm sure glad we're still friends all these years later. Here's to you, lady! XOXO, Amy
Happy 40th, MB!

We discussed what signs we could make for your birthday. Larkin suggested "peace," and Logan added "cake." So happy birthday, peace, and cake, Aunt Mary Beth!

Happy Birthday MB
I don't remember exactly when during the first few times I met you that we discussed baseball. But I do remember that I quickly decided, "MB is a star."
You could calculate ERA, batting average, and even slugging percentage. You knew what OPS was, probably before I did. You were perfect!
And now, as you and Ned raise Team Mitchell, you are still shining as a star mother and daughter-in-law.
Happy Birthday Mary Beth. I am so glad Ned, my grandchildren, and our whole family have you.
Love,
Ben

Happy Birthday to you, dear Mary Beth! You were all of 5 years old when Cathy and I started dating, so you probably think I've always been around.
As you enter into what I will graciously term your "wonder years", I want you to know how much I appreciate watching you live your life with both joy and practicality. Regardless of how YOU might see it (during the day to day craziness), from the outside, you capably navigate your family and career with love and a sense of humor! I sense that your attitude is grounded in the reality of the precious gift of life.
Many happy returns and may God continue to richly bless you.

Happy 40th Birthday, Mary Beth!
When we think of you, Mary Beth, as we often do, especially when we see the adorable pictures of your beautiful children on facebook, the words "super heroine" come to mind: After all you've been through, to currently be a working mother of four is nothing short of amazing, wonderful, awesome, incredible, and miraculous. As a project for my women's circle at church, I have been keeping a gratitude journal for all of God's many blessings. You and your precious family are definitely a hot topic in my journal!
Love,
Aunt Susan and Uncle Don
Congratulations Mary Beth!
Love from Grandma Marilyn and Grandpa Chuck Dean (DJ in Savannah with us)

Cornbread
Happy birthday, Mary Beth!
Do you remember the time you and I had a lengthy discussion about cornbread? I think it was when you were staying at our house when you and Ned were in Cleveland for your engagement party. We agreed to swap recipes, and when I got yours, I realized I was going to have to buy a larger cast-iron skillet than the one I had been using--which had been passed down to me from my grandmother and then my mother.
I hate to tell you, but I think my cornbread is better than yours. However, I've always been glad that your recipe forced me to buy that big skillet!
We love you and your sweet family.

To My Big Sister
Mary Beth,
I hope your 40th Birthday is your happiest birthday to date. You have been a great big sister, a fact that I don't think I really appreciated enough as a kid. Now I do, though, and I am overwhelmed thinking about how much you have been there for me. Also, thank you for giving me four wonderful nieces and nephews. I love you.
You littlest brother,
Patrick
