Our baby girl is fifteen. I kind of want to sit around and cry about how she is growing up way too fast, but every time I try she does something fantastic and reminds me what an awesome, beautiful young lady she and what an amazing life she is blessed with. So instead of cry-we celebrate!
The celebrations began on her birthday when we did the usual family dinner and cake. She picked out a new comforter for her bed and is re-doing her room for her birthday gift.
And then the celebrating came to a screeching halt when we went to take her permit test...and she didn't pass! That's right, one of the smartest people I know failed the written part of the driving test. So we had to go back the next day and try again. Thankfully, she was successful on her second try and we decided it was God's plan so that she would at least know what it was like to fail a test for once in her life. I can promise you-she didn't like. But, we were back to celebrating!
Yay! Now we can start the always exciting "learning to drive" phase of life. It's so joyful and relaxing.
But then the celebrating slowed down again when Kathryn realized her friends seemingly ignored her birthday. AND they were all going out on Saturday night and hadn't invited her!! (maybe she's not as smart as we think). So you can imagine her final surprise when all her BFFs jumped out to yell "Happy Birthday!" in our basement to restart the celebrating once again.
So, like life, the week was full of ups and downs. But when it ends with a room full of friends and family who love you, I'd call that a good birthday. Happy 15th Kathryn Savanna. We are so thankful to be able to celebrate every day with you!
