LIFE, Liberty, & The Pursuit of Happiness ...

My baby girl is 10!

I can't believe that my baby girl is 10 already!  Where did the time go?  In preparation for a class reunion planning meeting, I was going through a box of old pictures.  Pictures from when we lived in California (where Rachael was born), Michigan, and our home in Southern Indiana.  It seems like a lifetime ago when we brought her home from the hospital.  Jeff and I looked soooo young!  I remember all of the infertility issues we had and about how those issues changed me as a person.  Before that time, I always assumed that I would continue to work and she would be in daycare.  Yes, I'd miss her, but hey, I DESERVED the American Dream of a large house and extravagant vacations!  Wow ... if you would have told me 15 years ago that I'd be a homeschool mom, I'd have thought you were CRAZY!  It's amazing to me how God uses all of the events, both good and bad, in a person's life to shape who they will become.  I have so much joy in my life right now!  It's like all of the bad experiences in my life have worked together to show me what's truly important in life.  And for that, I am eternally grateful!
