12 years...

Today my beautiful, sweet, amazing, intelligent, creative, first born child Ashlynne turns 12 years old. It's so hard not to sound cliche' when I say that I can't believe that my beautiful baby girl is already 12 years old because it's the truth. I look at the last 12 years and I'm so grateful for the light she has been in my life.

I was 17 when Jeremiah and I were married, just 18 when I gave birth to Ashlynne. In many ways I feel like I've grown up with her over the last 12 years. It's true that the Lord knows exactly what we need in our lives and he always provides....Ashlynne was exactly what our lives needed and I am forever grateful for the way she's changed our lives.

I just want to wish my beautiful daughter a happy 12th birthday.
I love you sweet Ashlynne.
