Scrap Your Trip Overstock S*A*L*E – 1000+ Items

My daughter has hit the “double digits”.  Yep, on Monday she turned 10!  I took her to get her ears pierced and she had a “girl hang-out” birthday party at our new house with six of her best friends from school.

It really does just seem like yesterday that “Miss Nellie”, her babysitter, made her an Elmo cake for her first birthday.  But this birthday party?  The girls picked up the coffee table to move it out of the way and had a dance-off to “All The Single Ladies” by Beyonce in my living room.  How did nine years go by so fast?  

I am old enough and wise enough now to listen to the parents before me who say “I blinked and here she is…graduating from high school”.  Her life living with me is more than halfway over.  It really does feel like the older I get, the faster time goes by.

So, as has been my theme for the past year or so, I am just trying to live in the present and enjoy every moment with her.  Even when she was embarrassed to have me watch her dancing at her party and didn’t want me to take pictures of her and her friends.  She also made me promise I wouldn’t put them in my e-mail or on Facebook.

But, I still took them.  I still captured the memories.  And while she isn’t thrilled about it now, there will come a time later in her life, when she looks back on all the memories I have captured of her (thanks to being in the scrapbooking world) and she will be glad I ignored her.  

I love you, my sweet girl.  I am SO lucky to be your Mom.
