SEVENTEEN!!!!
I can't believe I am the mother of a seventeen year old child. (My dad did remind me as I celebrated that she is the exact age he was on the day I was born. Ugh!) She is such a blessing. I am amazed each day at the person she is becoming and I pray numerous times each day that she continues to make good choices. I still refuse to believe I am that old....but some days I look in the mirrror and I totally see the age.
My unexpected blessing these past few weeks has been something very rare...college algebra! Who would have thought a nasty math class would be the reason that my daughter and her dad have spent SO much time together. It really has been refreshing to see them sit at the bar together day after day and night after night; even most of the day last Saturday (they spent the other half of the day car shopping..another Ugh!).

I love your blog, and you are exactly right, when you look around we are all truly blessed. I can't believe you are a mom of a seventeen year old, you really do not seem that old. You guys have done an amazing job and have wonderful girls. I truly believe that will follow in the ways you guys have taught them, and I hope you have taken pictures of that time at the bar. I remember all the time my dad and I worked on math together. WE might not have enjoyed it so much then, but it is one of my fondest memories.
