Happy Happy Birthday!

19th birthday (I was attacked with whipping cream!)
18th birthday


First grade



First Christmas



About 8 months old


Well, at least I am not 30, I guess. It is amazing to me how much a person can change in just a few years. It is hard to imagine my mom holding me in her arms as a proud new parent and it is hard to imagine me being little like tanner or Liam or shad. But it was not that long ago. Each year I am a new person, with new trials and new accomplishments, and I am happy for each year I have had. Some have been better than others, but all of them have brought me to where I am, and I am happy to be here. I love my parents, my children, my husband and my extended family. Thank you for all you have done to help me, whether it is just being a friend, or answering weird questions at random times during the day or being with my kids while I go to where ever I need to go. My parents gave me cash, which is needed (I need a new journal!), Cassidy gave me a giant box of candy hearts (Yum), my in-laws gave me a new puzzle which I have started on, Wayne told me I could get Pinocchio on DVD when it comes out, and Katie asked me what I wanted, so after all that I decided I need storage bins to help organize my kids storage clothes down stairs. I love the gifts :)Thank You again, and enjoy your day because I know I will!
