14 years ago K.M.C.

Today my daughter Karlee Marie was born 14 years ago.  She had a hard time coming into this world but she made it and she is beautiful.  I was truly blessed 14 years ago.  She is a beautiful young woman.  I love watching her grow and experience life.  Although these days I wish we could skip some of the drama and hard lessons to learn in life that are learned during the teenage years.  Its tough on me as a parent and tough on her going through it, but we walk forward with God helping us each day.

The weekend has been busy.  Friday started off with Karlee's friends coming over for a sleepover.

Karlee loves zebra print and her favorite color is pink.  I had a friend make her cake.  It came out so cool and it was very yummy!

Saturday was spent running Karlee around from one end of town to the next so she could spend her birthday money.  I don't know what it is about shopping but I was tired when we got back and I wasn't even spending any money.  She found some cute things that she wanted and a wave iron to make her hair wavy.  So she was happy!

Sunday, today we picked up my grandmother and took her to church with us and brought her home to have lunch with us for Karlee's birthday.

Karlee's Best Friend Arynn came over to spend the day with Karlee.  Karlee was being silly.

they wouldn't stop laughing.....

Today was a wonderful day.  I really enjoyed spending time with my grandmother.  I was so happy to have her sit next to me in church.  I enjoyed the message today in church.  There were two baptisms this morning and I thought it was such a wonderful way to start the week with.  The day was spent with family and friends, I couldn't have asked for a better day than that!  Thank you Lord Jesus for such a wonderful weekend.
