Happy Birthday, Jordan!

Today marks a decade that Don and I embarked on the greatest journey we could ever take - parenthood. 10 years ago today we were introduced to a precious angel who changed our lives and won our hearts. Never could I have imagined that a tiny human could keep me up all night, scream nonstop for 24 hours, make me see stars from being so tired, and make me the happiest, most blessed, luckiest person on the planet. The one month and 30 hours of labor, the 4 months of colic, the sleepless nights and the high pitched scream that human ears were not designed to encounter were things that bonded me to this angel and it was all worth it. We became like war veterans that bond in combat; we bonded because we both survived the colic wars. Once Jordan overcame the colic, she was the easiest, sweetest, and best child any parents could hope for. She still is. She has an incredible sense of right and wrong, she is so kind to small children that they gravitate toward her, and has wisdom that exceeds her years. All I can say is parenthood agrees with me, it has been and continues to be a great ride!

We love you, Jordie girl. We are so grateful you are our daughter forever! Happy Birthday angel!
