This dude, , turned 40 this past weekend, which means he’s officially joined the 40 Club—eight months after me and Meghan, his wife, who's also my long-time friend. But if you asked Steven, though, he’d make it seem as if he’s 10 years our junior.
Over the years, Steven and I have gotten to share a lot: college shenanigans; regrettable Halloween costumes; pain and loss; mini-vacations with friends; business brainstorms while hauling flowers; and conversations that span from the state of the world to whose harvesting what row of flowers that day. Somehow, even while I’m rambling and multitasking, it all feels like exactly what it should: good work with good people.
[But also, FYI, Steven be talking a lot, too, even though I’m known as the talker.]
Steven’s a wonderful husband to Meghan; an amazing dad to Trey and James; and an excellent co-owner/partner-in-crime at Mae Flowers Farm. The world is better with him in it, as friends and strangers can tell you.
Here’s to more years of flowers, back stretches that may or may not help, and good people making for a better, more flourishing life.
Happy 40th!
