9 years ago today!


9 years and one day ago today, I was a girl...

9 years and one day ago today, I was a wife...

9 years and one day ago today, I was a teacher...

9 years and one day ago today, I could jump in the car and go anywhere on a moment's notice...

9 years and one day ago today, I was less of the woman I am now...

9 years ago today, I learned what true unconditional love is...

9 years ago today, I became a woman...

9 years ago today, my life started to revolve around someone else's schedule...

9 years ago today, I became a mom!

My precious first born was born 9 years agod today. I can't believe this is her last single digit birthday! I can't believe that she is up to my shoulder in height! I can't believe how smart she is. I can't believe I can't hold her on my chest anymore. I can't believe I can pick her up and swing her around anymore!

My little girl can still crawl up in my lap and hug me! My little girl still says she loves me everyday! My little girl still thinks I know everything! (For now anyway) My little girls who is growing up so big. I never knew what my mom meant when she said I'd always be her little girl. Now I know, because I have my own little girl who is growing up so fast.

Happy Birthday my sweet girl!

Please tell that precious little girl Happy Birthday for me! Tell her that I love her and that I can't wait to see her in a few months. Since you will be moving soon and have a lot of other things on your plate, I will do something special for her birthday when you guys get down here. Love you all and miss you all! :) Happy Birthday J! :)
