I am in total disbelief....as I was putting Jade down tonight, I just can't believe Amanda is 18 today. We had a party for her and she got lots of cool stuff...yep...we got her the Northface coat she has been wanting...Ian kept telling her it was a blanket...pretty smart on his part. Anyway, it just seems like yesterday that she was born...I can't believe it!
I still remember what I was wearing when I held her for the first time...and my hair...too bad I still don't have that getup...it works today...oops...I can't fit in it anymore!
It makes me realize all the more how quickly times goes by...Jade will be 18 in the blink of an eye...I just hope she sleeps all night by that time...if she doesn't she will get kicked out...hey she will be 18!! Seriously...it made me want to stop time and just hold on to this moment...I don't want anything to change...it is all to good!!
Amanda is and always has been very special to me...she used to spend every weekend with me, go on all my first dates, and she was just my all around sidekick for many years...she is great! We prayed tonight that her heart would always stay with the Lord and that she would bring others to know him and accept him. We thanked him for her talents and gifts that she has been blessed with in this life. Happy Birthday Princess...it just seems like yesterday you were born and now you are a wonderful women that I couldn't be more proud of in a lifetime!!
(she has now moved on to be called..."Queen"...Jade is now the Princess)
