My First Born

Next week my first born child will turn 14. Yes, 14 years old. Just 4 years shy of being "legal".  Just 2 years shy of getting her driver's permit. 14 years have gone by in a flash. I blinked. When will I learn not to blink?! She was born naturally, came into this world with her eyes open and a smile on her face. Not much has changed. Well, except that she is now almost taller than me. :) She is growing into a smart, beautiful young woman with a mind of her own and I couldn't be prouder. It isn't easy, raising a teenage girl, but I hope that I'm doing a good job. Now..........let's see if we can make it to 18 without one of us trying to kill the other. :)
