Girls,
Well, we made it. The end of Lindley’s 1st grade year and the end of Avaleigh’s 2nd grade year. What an adventure! Things weren’t always easy. COVID was prevalent during the 1st half of the year…but it gradually got better.
You both made the honor roll all year long! You both even had straight A’s a couple of times.
You both have grown so much over the past few years that it has been amazing to watch.
You make me proud in so many ways. Avaleigh, you are starting to blossom into a young lady right in front of my eyes. You are acting more grown up….removing yourself from some of the silly things that little kids do. You are a fighter…a worker….and I’m so proud of you. Lindley, you are still my little girl. You still want me…and it makes my heart flutter. I love the way you love me.
You both make me feel so special. I hope I make you feel the same way.
Before I had kids, I thought I had a great life. I had a blossoming career. I was a principal at the age of 32. I was a superintendent at the age of 40. I was married to your smoking hot momma…
Then you came along and showed me how I didn’t have everything put together. Until you two came along, my life was insignificant. The only problem is you threw my life into a tailspin. You both showed me that I needed to focus on myself…because although I thought I had it together….I didn’t.
So what have you given me? You have reminded me the purpose of having my own set of values…my core beliefs that guide me. You gave me priorities. You gave me hope.
Most importantly, you gave me love. Love that I needed more than you can imagine.
