She Did It!!!

 My girl did it! She passed her permit test and even drove on the interstate part of the way home.  Why do they have to grow up? 

Ry 15th Birthday Party @Top Golf

 We had the best time celebrating Rylee Sunday afternoon. I will say the drive home was a little sketchy, but we made it.

Happy #15 to my girl!

   Rylee, 

  I honestly don't know where to start. It seems like only yesterday you were playing dolls and riding your bike with training wheels and now you are transforming into a beautiful young woman before my very eyes.  You are everything I prayed for in a daughter. You are truthful yet considerate, you are lenient yet relentless, you are sensitive yet resilient, but most importantly you are giving to those less fortunate, you show compassion to those who need it , and you respect those who respect you. I pray you will continue to be ALL these things and more.  No matter where the future leads you or what your future holds, I want you to know I will always love you and be your #1 fan!!!

                                                                                        Mom

A Much Needed Weekend Away

   Jeremy and I snuck off to Chattanooga for a quick over night trip.  Christmas break really wasn't a break. It was sad and hard! We had a few days off school and a couple ballgames got canceled so we took advantage.  We stayed at the Read House downtown Chattanooga. We dressed up, had a nice dinner that evening, ordered room service for breakfast then checked out and headed home for a basketball game.
