"The days are long, but the years are short."
Gretchen Rubin
As I sit at my computer typing this morning, all I can say is where did the time go? A couple of weeks ago, we had Emaleigh's senior pictures taken. I can't believe I am the mother of a senior in high school. Wasn't it just yesterday that I was bringing this sweet little baby home from the hospital? No? Oh, that's because I was taking her to her first day of preschool. No? Watching her win a computer in a music journal competition at the end of 3rd grade? Watching her fall into a sea of students heading off to middle school? Helping her get ready for her first homecoming dance? Teaching her how to drive? No? No? No? Well okay then, maybe the quote from Gretchen Rubin sums it up best. The days can be mundane and troublesome at times, but when I look back on how each year this once tiny little baby has grown into an incredible young woman I am so proud of what she is becoming. I thank God for allowing me to be her Mother. She has taught me so much in the past seventeen years. I am excited for what this last year of high school has in store for her. As she plans her future and makes decisions that will determine the path she takes, I will be smiling, praying, and saying "thank you" for all of the wonderful (and sometimes troublesome) memories she has given me!
