Someone in my family is getting old...

I cannot believe that Sarah is officially 29 years old today! Boy, she sure did get old fast! Seriously, I cannot believe that I have been blessed to have had her in my life for all these years. She is tall, has naturally curly hair and can sing....all attributes that I do not have! However, I know she is mine because she is so much like me in many ways. I am so proud of her accomplishments thus far in her life. She has done so many things "outside the box" and continues to raise the bar for her own personal expectations. She has such a strong testimony of the Gospel and the power of prayer. She is not perfect by any means, but I think she is pretty well on her way! I can still remember in vivid detail the week surrounding her birth. I was feeling so lonely and pregnant when all of the sudden there was a knock on my door. Lo and behold, Carol and Nancy were standing there. They had decided to come up and keep me company until I had "whoever" I had. (I had no idea of the gender of either of my children prior to their birth. Even with Sarah, there was some temporary doubt because of the size of her shoulders. She was (and still is) absolutely beautiful to me. There are so many things about her personality that I adore. Most of all, I love the fact that she loves her family so deeply and will do anything for anyone who asks. Since I was only blessed with one daughter, I am sure grateful she picked me!!!
