Bridget~













My niece Bridget is turning 14 today... April 5th to be exact. It brings up many thoughts I would like to share~~~ I remember the day she was born like it was only yesterday. We did not know if the baby was a boy or girl so we were a little surprised with the news... "It's a girl".







I for one was a little shocked. I had never even baby sat for a baby girl before so I remember saying... "what are we going to do with a girl?" LOL ... A little selfish statement especially since I am only the Aunt ! The first time I held her in my arms I fell in love. The first moment of being an Aunt , never being a mother myself, has to be one of those moments in time I will never forget. I held her in my hands and thanked God for bringing this beautiful, healthy baby into my life and into the world. She has and always will be such a blessing to our family. My sister and her husband had tried and tried to have a baby. It was an emotional roller coaster as Jenny miscarried several times before conceiving Miss Bridget. With a lot of prayers we finally got the baby in our family. My parents were ecstatic to have their first grandchild. It was and always will be one of the best days of my life and a day I will never forget. Thank you God for blessing our family with such a bright, beautiful, and loving young lady.

I think it would be good for you, you should defintily look into it. You'd be great, just like you are great at everything. You have allot of love to give... Love, Jenny xoxo
