The July birthday extravaganza has started!
Happy Birthday Gabe!
After not seeing Gabe for over 2 years due to the pandemic and green card delays, this past year we have had the privilege of seeing him much more often! 2 weeks last summer, over a month at Christmas and we are just rounding up 6 weeks of him (and Shannon) being here!
Lots of changes for this guy! After graduating, while patiently waiting for his green card (everything was seriously delayed),Gabe & Shannon lived in Denver with her parents.
They then packed their car and headed cross country to live in Florida so Gabe could start law school.
Florida was not their favorite place, but he persevered and had a successful first year at law school. He decided to apply to Brooklyn law school in New York – got accepted early, got a partial scholarship and then they head to the Big Apple next month!
Lots of changes! In the interim, they packed up again, shipped their car (Gabe is not a fan of road trips) , and have spent 6 weeks with us and are heading off to Shannon’s parents for another 6 weeks before starting school.
And during the summer, he is getting some lawyer experience working virtually for a law firm in California!
What an adventure it has been and will be!
Gabe has really shone this year!
He has put forth lots of effort and it has paid off! He is a hard worker!
He us also just a super smart guy. He gets things.
His curiosity and quest for knowledge still reigns.
His sense of humour is incredible and he has us all laughing all the time!
He is so loyal and committed. A trait he really gets from his dad:)
Speaking of his dad, they are like two peas in a pod… their love of cars, is strong! Whether it be model cars, old cars, fast cars, formula one… they enjoy it all.
He is a family guy – not only an amazing husband to Shannon, brother to his siblings, he is a great son. We all FaceTime consistently every Sunday and he calls Rob every Thursday – and he rarely misses either! His commitment and interest in family shines through.
He has a great smile and laugh.
He is still our tech whiz – even though his computer broke in Mexico 🙁
He is very caring and compassionate – again this shines through with Shannon – he is always thinking of her.
It’s so fun to be able to spend time with him on his birthday ! Oh the places he will go this year! Buckle up, keep your arms in, because he is off on an adventure!
Happy Birthday Gabe!
We love you!
