My baby moves out!

Well, I went and worked myself out of my job! My youngest, Jamie Lee, just moved into her first home and she is super excited. She wanted to buy the house, but has no credit and the guy was very adamant about not renting. She said she prayed over it and then one day out of the blue, he called and offered to rent the house at a fair price. God does answer prayers. I knew this day was coming, just not quite prepared for it. She has her first job as a 7th grade math teacher at Drake Middle School in Auburn, and so far she loves it. I don't understand my sadness, because she stayed gone so much that I still did not see her much, but I did get to catch her in passing every now and then.

So to all you young mothers out there that doesn't think they will ever get a minute just to themselves, soak up that time with your babies. Everybody told me that it would pass by really fast and on some days, I though "yeah right"....but take it from me - it does. I wish I could go back sometimes - what seemed important then, just would not be important now. I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed being a mom. I know I did not always do everything right, but my heart was always in it. I look back and can KNOW I was there for my girls. TAke a little time and enjoy those little ones and hug them extra tight!

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Psalms 127:3
