A month from today my baby girl will be a bride.  Today I get on a plane to go and celebrate her bridal shower.  As I was in Target this morning get some last minute items, it really hit me that my little girl has become and beautiful woman.  Memories came flooding back of her chubby cheeks, crooked teeth, deep laugh and cheery disposition.  The cheeks are now thin and lovely and defined.  The teeth have been straightened to reveal a beautiful smile.  But the deep laugh and winning personality have only grown more wonderful and dear.  Britt you are my pride and joy – not in only what you have accomplished (although that is amazing!) but in who you are and have become.  A strong woman of integrity, humor, love and devotion to her faith, her family and her friends.  You fiercely love God.  A gem in every sense of the word.  There is no possible way that I could be more proud of you.  You delight me.  You inspire me.  You amaze me.  And I love you with every ounce of my being.

So glad that I get to come and be part of my sweet girl’s new adventure.  There is a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye, but they can’t compare with the love in my heart and the smile on my face that comes with knowing the wonderful things that God has in store for you.  You are precious to me, baby….And I am so very, very, very happy for you…..xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
