--> 5 Years Old <---

Today, my first born daughter turns 5. It's so unreal that she's 5 already! It's amazing how much this girl as done in her 5 years of existence. She lived in 3 different states, watched her Daddy deploy and return home twice, moved away from all of her friends (all that hadn't moved away from her already, that is) and completely adjust to all of that with grace that is unreal for a little lady of only 5 years.

I could write about this beautiful babe of mine for days and still not say everything I have in my heart to say. I'll leave it at this:

Jordan-
You are the most beautiful soul I've ever known. You teach me more everyday about loving Jesus with the heart of a child. I'm thankful to Him for chosing your Daddy and I to be your parents. You've been our most precious gift for 5 years now, and I hope you had the most amazing birthday, baby. I love you so much.
Love,
Mama <3
