Day Two Hundred Eighty Four 2013

Everything in life is somewhere else, and you get there in a car.  ~E.B. White

Congratulations to my sweet sixteen year old niece, Julia, who got her driver’s license today. She stopped by my house this morning [driving solo] on her way to a youth group function, and shared her good news with me and of course I had to see her new license and take her picture. There’s nothing else quite like the thrill of getting your driver’s license. I’m happy for you, Julia!

At Last

I Wanna Hold Your Hand

I’ve Got My Mind Set On You

My niece Evan married her long-time sweetheart Shaun this afternoon. They had a beautiful and simply sweet outdoor ceremony under blue sky and puffy white clouds with family and friends cheering them on. They’ve loved each other for a long time. They’re a good match. Wishing them a happily ever after.

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY, SARAH!



My sweet niece Sarah celebrated her 18th birthday this evening with family and friends and a yummy chocolate cake. [Her official birth date is tomorrow] These past 18 years have rushed by, crazy fast. I’ve watched her grow up into this unique, smart, talented, gorgeous, funny and fun to be with young woman who is one of my favorite people on the planet. But then she’s always been all those things. Her future is shiny bright. Can’t wait to see where she goes and how she gets there. Wishing you all the best of everything life has to offer, Sarah. Love you to pieces.

PROM NIGHT



This is senior prom night for my seventeen year old niece, Sarah. Isn’t she gorgeous? I told her she looked like a princess. She’s a natural beauty, inside and out, and I love her to pieces. I hope she has the time of her life tonight. Two weeks from today, she graduates high school and heads off into her future and, I think, the most fun part of the journey. Love you, Sarah!

Day One Hundred Ninety Six 2012

My niece Sarah celebrated her 17th birthday this afternoon. She is one of my favorite people on the planet, and I am blessed by her presence in my life. God has blessed her abundantly in every aspect of her life, and it is my prayer that He continues to bless her throughout the coming year as she heads into her senior year in high school. Happy birthday, Sarah! Love you bunches!!

Day Two Hundred Seventy Five 2011

My sweet niece Julia turns 14 years old tomorrow (October 3), but we partied with her today at her house and enjoyed yummy cake and ice cream and punch. She enjoyed opening all her ‘flat presents’ (lots of cards with lots of money inside). And tomorrow she and her family are off to the beach for fall break. So blessed to have this lovely young lady in my life. Happy Birthday, Julia!! I love you!! You rock!!
