Birthdays

Every year I think where has the time gone. The girlies in our family all have close birthdays. AG will have hers in just a few days. MA and I have 20 plus days to go. I hate to see my babies grow up. They are getting so mature. Each day I pray for silliness. I want two silly girls forever. I don't want teenagers, at least not yet. I have so many plans for them and me sometimes I forget to just take it all in and enjoy them now. I still let them sleep with me when Dad is at work just because I know some day they will not ask to. That will be a sad day for me. I remember more than a couple of years ago we went to the pediatrician because our girls were sick. He told us that he had been sick and his daughter had been sick also. He said even at fifteen she wanted him to lay next to her because she felt so bad. He said I did and I was sick two days later. Stomach bug can jump. I thought about that a lot that day. About how quickly my girls were growing up and what life would be like for us then. I thought about Mark checking out the boys, threatening them, giving them the evil eye when they came to our door. I hope that we still have a close relationship. My girls mean everything to me and the thoughts of them getting older saddens me, but it also excites me. They are just becoming such wonderful young ladies and I can't wait to see how great they become. I pray each day that they continue their spiritual walk with the LORD and that they both choose careers that they are happy doing. All I want for them in this life is for them to be happy with the choices they make in life. I am pretty happy with choices I have made. I may not have always made good ones, but God always let the bad ones lead me to great people like my husband. I am blessed to have him and my girls. I love my church family and my friends from school. I have met some incredible people on this life journey and I am sure I will meet many more. GOD always brings wonderful people into my life and I am blessed each day because of it. Happy Birthday July and August birthday buddies.
