My first born baby girl turns 15 today. It is true what people say...one day they are a newborn and the next they are on their way to college. We aren't there, quite yet, but we are close. I almost choked the other day when I realized that we would be paying college tuition in 3 years. Talk about freaking out....I don't know what gets me more worried-the cost of college or her leaving home:(
Elisabeth, you have been an absolute joy to raise. You are spunky, confident, loving, motivated, humorous, beautiful, thoughtful, and an amazing friend, sister, niece, cousin, grand-daughter, and daughter. You have made me laugh every single day you have been my daughter. I love it when we watch all of your silly shows together and when I stand for hours waiting for you to finish shopping in that loud, obnoxious, smelly Hollister. One of my favorite memories is when we stood in a 2 hour line to get the first Twilight DVD at midnight (when we could have gotten up in the morning and bought it) or when we got the last 2 tickets to the midnight showing of the 4th movie and didn't tell any of your firends. I've learned to stay away from you in the mornings because they just aren't your thing and to have your breakfast ready and waiting while I pray that your make-up and hair turn out just right. Eventhough I bitch about picking you up from school because you don't want to ride the bus alone, I really don't mind:) I missed being at the high school with you more than you know this year but will be there next year...you will probably wish I stayed in elementary school because I will seek and find you in every class just to say 'hi'. Your dad and I are extremely proud of you and the wonderful teenager you have become. We love you more than life itself:) Happy 15th Birthday, Sweetheart:)
