What a year it has been!!!

Well it has been a year for you!!! Working side by side with your best friend literally making a home for you family!!! I know it has a been a dream a long time coming!!! So very happy for you, Donnie and the kiddos!!!

It's been a year of changes also, with big changes at church...a few at the school...but the Lord gives us just what we need to moving forward with Him during each season of our lives!!!

The other day we had a little boy at church standing quietly behind your dad...just waiting for your dad to notice him...in his pressed shirt and tie...made me think of you instantly...I could see you standing there in that little navy dress...oh the memories!!!

It's also been a year of changes with the kiddos...I can see just from the outside looking in how much they are growing up...take your momma's advise and soak it every bit up...even the bad when those times come...it's times of great joy, times of growth...times of learning for them...and for you...you will blink and not only will they be grown but your first grand will be starting high school!!! Time goes so fast and I'm sad I didn't cherish out time more...

I love you our one and only sister!!!!

Love mom!
