Today, the Bates are celebrating the birthday of their only daughter-in-law. Gil and Kelly have four married daughters, which means they have four--soon to be five--sons-in-law, but as of yet, only one of their sons is married. Happy 25th, Whitney!
Zach and Whitney are approaching their five-year wedding anniversary this December. (Can you believe it?) They have two beautiful children and one waiting for them in heaven.

Happy Birthday, Whitney! Have the best birthday ever with your family and friends. God Bless You!!! Jane
ReplyDeleteShe is almost exactly 2 years older than I am! I turned 23 September 17th.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and may God bless you Whitney. You're such a blessing to watch mature and grow.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed birthday Whitney!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Whitney, enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, Whitney!🎂🎁 You are an amazing example to so many. I never would've guessed you were younger than me because of your maturity. I'm almost 27 and still single and hope for a marriage and life as wonderful as yours when my turn comes. And that I can give birth to kids as adorable as yours!
ReplyDeleteI knew Whitney was younger than Zach, but didn't realize she was only 20 when they married, she comes across as much more mature for her age. I hope she has a very happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteWow! I forget how young she is!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Whitney!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Whitney - you are a lovely woman, loving wife and mother. Thank you for sharing parts of your life with us. Have a blessed year filled with happiness.
ReplyDeleteWhitney has truly matured into a beautiful young woman.
ReplyDeleteThank you thank you thank you for mentioning their baby in heaven as a part of their family!! I know it doesn’t always make sense to do so but because it is so rare for people to count miscarried babies as part of the family it makes my heart soar to read that. (Not that they lost it, but that you are acknowledging it as one of their children)
ReplyDeleteSome people including my friend who lost her baby tragically in childbirth doesn't like it being mentioned. I think it has been a taboo issue kept deathly silent in society but bear in mind everyone deals with grief differently.
DeleteHappy Birthday Whitney

Happy birthday Whitney! "Enjoy your prime year, cuz your 25th year is your most beautiful and from here on out you'll start getting ugly"... as I was told on my 25th birthday😍
ReplyDeleteHappy belated to her. She seems older but forgot they marry young.
ReplyDeleteI’d be interested to learn about Whitney’s years prior to meeting Zach.
