Well, I have finally decided to take time to post on my blog. We have been running around like crazy. To catch up on a few things, we have been to Grimsley, TN on a mission trip with the church. We had our VBS at church and my sister and I were teachers in the 2 year class. Dusty had an opportunity to teach the junior high class. Let me take a moment to say I'm so proud of Dusty and where he is today. He is a wonderful, strong, Christian man! He is a good father and husband! Thank you, Dusty! Needless to say, we have been busy!!
The reason for this post is also to talk about Taylor's birthday!! Happy Birthday, baby girl! You are growing too fast!! Taylor turned 10 on her birthday. She says that she is now a TEN-ager. I thought that was pretty clever. Anyway, for her birthday, she and I had a Mother/Daughter day. We started off by stopping by her choice for food. She chose Captain D's. After that, we went to the mall and had a blast! She got a chance to be spoiled and have all the attention on her. We first went to a booth and made silly pictures. That was fun! Then we went to Build-A-Bear where she got her present from her Mimi and PaPaw in Texas. She still had some money left over from Mimi and Papaw so we went to the Disney Store. She was able to buy a remote control car and Hannah Montana tank top with the money left over. They were having such a great sale on their clearance, that I bought her a couple of outfits for her birthday. Next, we ventured over to Bath and Body works where she was able to get some of her own lotion,etc. After that, we went to Starbucks and splurged on a couple of Frappucinos (Delicious!!). We then went to get her haircut! She loved having the attention! And last but definately not least, She got to get her EARS PIERCED!! She was surprised because she thought I was going to make her wait. She has been asking me for over a year now and I decided she has shown more maturity. We had a wonderful day! The next day she went the Granna and PawPaw to the store. They gave her some money for her birthday. She was able to combine it with the money she had been saving and finally got her camera!
For Taylor, I love you and how much you have grown. I'm so proud of the young woman you are becoming! Keep up the good work! ~ Mom
