Happy Birthday Emily!

My beautiful daughter in her youngers days...

and Emily today.

I don't know how it happened but I became the mother of a 19 year old today.

19!

It's so cliche but I can't help myself.  It truly does seem like just yesterday we were welcoming our firstborn into the world.  Life hasn't been the same since and I'm glad.

As you can see, she's a beautiful young woman, both inside and out.  I've enjoyed watching her blossom and mature into the interesting person she is today and look forward to seeing what the future holds for her.  I thank God every day for blessing us with our girl.  

Happy Birthday, Emily!
