Gracie is 11!!!

11 years ago today God blessed us with our second daughter.

I enter the hospital on July 28 @ midnight. She was taking her sweet time so I spent the day just laying around waiting. Of course my favorite story to tell is come the afternoon and having nothing to eat all day I was SO hungry. I had this thing for Milky Way bars so I convinced Matt to go get one and let me have just one bite. When I did finally get that bite who walks in just then~ yep my doctor. I was caught red handed!!

At 10:00pm things were still going slowly so my Dr decided she was going home. The nurse had me turn over and I fell asleep for a bit. I woke up, which felt like just minutes later, with some BAD pains. Sure enough she was coming and there was no waiting. The nurse kept telling me to hold on and wait but OH MY this little girl was NOT waiting for anyone! My Dr arrive just and Grace entered the world.

She was SO little with this dark curly hair and these big blue eyes. The moment Matt looked at her she had him wrapped around her finger. She was so calm and peaceful. But when she wanted to eat, watch out!!!

Fast forward 11 years, here we are with this young lady who has a mind of her own. Who knows what she wants and is full of life. Grace has taught me so much over these last 11 years. I have watched her be a friend who just loves a person for who they are and never tries to change them. She works hard and does the best job she can. Hockey has become a big part of her life. She loves to watch and play it. One of her dreams is the play hockey in college.

These last 11 years has been a great adventure and it's been fun to see what God has created her to be. I can't wait to see what lays in store the next 11 years!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRACE!
