eighteen

This is it. The big milestone. The point at which childhood officially ends and you move into more important grownup matters like finishing your education, thinking about a long term job, and managing all that freedom and independence.

Whew. This was quite the busy year. A lot of fun things, a lot of “lasts,” and exciting things beginning too. You will graduate in a few short weeks. I’m glad you are sticking around at home for a little while. You’ve matured and grown spiritually, even in these last few months. And you have developed good self discipline, and a nice healthy eating/exercise regimen. You are so much fun to be around.

We are looking forward to the days ahead with you, and celebrating the graduation coming up. We are so thankful for you, Dolly. Keep striving to place the Lord in everything you do. ❤️
