As I watched her walk the docks and listen to her iPod, it was surreal. She has grown into such a beautiful, young lady. I have seen many changes in her in the past year. She has always been very responsible with her own things, but now I have seen that expand into other areas as well... her dedication to her schoolwork has grown even more this year (Hello, Honor Roll again!); she typically does her household chores without having to be reminded; she realizes that to become a better golfer, she needs to put forth more effort into her practice; she takes great care of our new dog, Bogey, etc.
She spent the eve of her birthday at an overnight sleepover for a dear friend who shares the same birthday. They are a special group of friends, all adopted from China and most of them, at an older age. She received a phone for her birthday and she spent the night texting me about all the fun they were having. I didn't know I would love my daughter having a phone so much!
Today, she will spend her birthday playing in a golf tournament in northern Ohio. I will be riding alongside in a golf cart to silently cheer her on. Oh, and probably take a few photos, too. ;)
Happy Birthday, Kara!!!!! We love you so much!!!!!
