Happy Birthday Travis!!


I can hardly believe it has been seven years since I became a parent.


I've learned a lot in those seven years. I've learned that parenting rarely turns out like you think it will, and the best-laid intentions can be left in the dust when reality sets in. I've learned that it's a lot harder than I thought it would be to watch my kid grow up. I've learned that there's no way to describe the feeling of vulnerability I have when it comes to my kids and their life experiences. I've learned that crayon stains from a melted crayon in the dryer almost NEVER come out of clothing.

But mostly, I've learned how awesome it is to be a mom. Especially to such a terrific kid.

I love you, buddy.
