Happy Birthday Kristen!

Wikipedia says Kristen means: Your very smart and Wise! You know just when to handle things and the right way to handle them! 

Someone of course wrote that-- but it fits Kristen.  

Meaning of the name Kristen:  Christian, anointed.

Kristen is my sister-in-law, married to my brother Nielson.   So the above pretty much sums up Kristen, so I could end it here.   But I want to demonstrate how well she handles things.   

I have been saving these pictures since August, just for this day.   Kristen is a woman of many talents-- this is just one of them.    

So Nielson has the opportunity to wake board, she drives the boat.  Not yet impressed?

She wake boards for so long that she has to give her arms a rest.

And when she wake boards, Nielson drives the boat real fast and makes sure she catches big wakes.   If this was video, you could see just how fast she is going.  I was impressed the camera could get such a clear shot.

And then this talent... it is pretty impressive.    See the white truck in the middle to the back with a trailer behind it- well Kristen is driving it.  She going to back the trailer into the water so Nielson can drive the boat on to it.   But before we move on... I just wanted to point out the double tow... can't even believe it is legal, and that is a little truck.  

You see this beauty... not just anyone back up a trailer like that.

And she stops... perfectly.   Talent!

Happy Birthday Kristen.  I hope it was fantastic, fun, and festive!   I could of told lots of things about you, but this is the one that I have been wanting share.  To show just how talented and gifted your are.   When I went with Nielson the year before... I was not confident in any of the above.  So I was truly impressed in what you did.  I had to share with everyone just how terrific you are.  Love you,  Karalene
