Keeping Up With The Joneses: 50 Days of Summer: Day 27

Today is a BIG day! Today the one that started it all, the one that made me a Mom, the one that taught me there is so much more to life than I ever knew...

turns 10.

TEN.

I can't believe it's been 10 years already. It's just gone by so fast. I mean there are those days that seem like they never end, but really I feel like I blinked a few times and here we are with our oldest turning 10. I don't feel like I've been a mom for 10 years and I don't feel 10 years older, but alas...the date doesn't lie.

On July 3, 2003 after a difficult delivery Bryan and I heard the words we had been waiting to hear for 9 months:

It's a Girl!!!

Now, just 10 short years later our baby girl is a lovely young lady. I can't tell you guys how proud I am of her. I love her so very much...like so much that when I sit and think about how much I love her it brings tears to my eyes. For those of you who don't have kids, let me just say that it's a fierce love and you really don't have a clue how much your parents love you until you have a child of your own.

Let's take a quick walk down memory lane.
