It seems like it was yesterday…
Thanksgiving break 2005…we had family and friends popping in and out of the house for days. Boy I just wanted to put my super pregnant self on the couch and rest. Your due date was a few weeks off…so I knew I had time, but you had other plans!
Contractions started and continued on and off over night. Part of me was absolutely in denial as we headed off to the hospital the next day. I was so sure we would be sent home. So, dad and I were in a bit of shock when the nurse told us that a room was being prepared. Excited but scared we got checked in and settled. Keep in mind we had no idea if we were having a girl or boy…we wanted to be surprised!
Everyone told me time will fly and boy has it ever. I can’t believe you are on the thresh-hold of your teenage years!
Thinking about you and how you live your life, I came up with the list below….goals that I see you work towards daily. I don’t think we have ever listed these out. However, everyday dad and I see you strive to hit these…and it makes our hearts swell. Continue your pursuit beautiful girl… because guess what?! These will guide you through life:)
