18....really?

Yep 18 years ago right now I was in the throes of labor.....long, hard, 62 hours worth of labor. No epidural until the 40 hour mark and then Dak was born emergency C-section style. He's ALWAYS done things a little bit different =)

I thought on this beautiful day, I would share just a snippet of the letter I wrote him for today....

Son,

There are moments in everyone's life where you know that everything has changed; when your life has been touched with grace and love beyond what you have ever known. That happened to me 18 years ago. The grace and love that Abba Father showed to me through you has been one of the greatest gifts I've ever received on this earth.....

I'm so looking forward to seeing you move through your Senior Year with style & substance. Thank you for loving your mama.

Keep your feet grounded my boy and your heart open to all the wonderful possibilities that God holds for your Senior year and beyond..... I Love You.....Mom

















HAPPY 18TH!!!












Eat lots of Chinese tonight......

Be safe and have a super fun time!!!!
Wow my boy is growing up before my very eyes.
I'm tellin' ya.... he was in Kindergarten YESTERDAY or so it feels =)
