Happy Birthday!

Well, my sweet baby is 11 years old today!! It makes me sad to think that these last 11 years have gone by so quickly. In just 7 short years, she will be off to college! I know that it is crazy to think of her leaving home when she is only 11, but it will be here before I know it...and definitely before I'm ready to have her go! But, I will say that these have been the happiest 11 years of my life. I was only 19 when I had her, so I had to grow up very quickly! I can tell you, though, that I wouldn't change having her for anything in the world!!! She fills my life with such joy & adventure...on a daily basis! So, Chelsea, I hope that you have the most incredible birthday. I love you with all of my heart! You are the best thing that I've ever done. I'm proud of you and proud to be your mommy! Alaboo!!!
