So today is the day.  My girl turned 10 years old.  Double digits.

I surprised her (with the help of my mom) and put together her desk and painted the old orange Woodland High lockers that have been sitting in the garage collecting dust.  Turquoise.  Turquoise everything.  She was a happy girl this morning.  Her playroom is almost complete.  Although she told me that she thought I was going to get her a dog.  A dog?  Haha.  Dream on baby girl 🙂

 

WARNING – I’m about to get sappy……..

 

This song came on my pandora this morning.  I cried.  Like a lot.  It made me think of my girl and my wish for her ♥

Rascal Flatts – My Wish

 

I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you wanna go,
And if you’re faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin’ till you find the window,
If it’s cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile.
But more than anything, more than anything

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but you never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you live,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God’s grace, in every mistake,
And always give more than you take.
But more than anything, yeah, more than anything

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish. Yeah, yeah.

My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish (my wish, for you).

This is my wish (my wish, for you)
I hope you know somebody loves you (my wish, for you).
May all your dreams stay big (my wish, for you)

 

 

 

Since you were born you have been

such a beautiful addition to our family

Now that you are growing up

I can see that you are a beautiful

addition to the world

and I am so proud of you

As I watch you doing things on your own

I know you will find success

because I am confidant in your ability

your self-knowledge and your values

I am always here to help you

to understand you

to support you

and love you!

Remember – chin up or the crown slips!
