Maddypalooza Weekend!

Today is my daughter Maddy's birthday!

Who started out as a beautiful baby, 

grew

and grew 

and grew

and grew.  Closer than ever with her siblings.

and then went to high school

made more friends

and then off to college 

and became even more independent by spending her last two college summers in Colorado

It gave us a great vacation spot those summers!

and she grew more faithful and educated

made new lifelong friends

and still found time to be a sister

found her love and soulmate

and then came part of a team

and an additional team with her new job as a kindergarten teacher

.

I couldn't be more proud of the woman she has become.

and can't wait to see what the future holds for you.

Happy Birthday Dear!
