21 years ago

21 years ago...this precious little darlin' was born all snugly and cuddly. She had the most delicious smell. I never tired of drinking in her newborness.

Expect at 3am. 
I could have done without the wee morning wake times. 

Almost everything was done in a swimsuit. Why wear clothes when a swimsuit is appropriate attire for most places. 

Except school. 
And church. 
And the grocery store. 

Unless you are sneaky and wear them under your clothes just in case you have the opportunity to swim. 

I have a goal to one day open my birthday gifts in my bikini too.
That is if I owned a bikini. 
Which I don't. 
Ok, so much for that goal. 

This little middle owns my heart. 
And every animal along the way. 
Every animal. 

Cats, dogs, cats, horses, cats, turtles, cats, hamsters, oh and did I mention she likes cats?  
Ok, maybe not every animal, but perhaps every cat. 
Or, just a couple cats, but she would own every cat if she had her crazy cat lady tendencies fulfilled.

And then, little middle, became an adult. 

She has the graduation cap to prove it. 
And the diploma. 
And the college debt

21 years has flown by. 
Just like that big jet plane that took her away too. 

But, also brought her back and made me a very happy mama. 
Cheers!
