Today was my birthday. Many people say that when you have a child and your birthday comes along, you almost forget that it's "YOUR DAY." I beg to differ! I had an awesome day and about 21 phone calls from friends and family ( I didn't count or anything) I got 100 bucs in the mail, a wonderful dinner date with my husband to WENDY's, yes I said Wendy's and trip to the mall to buy some new clothes. I received a beautiful pair of earrings in the mail, along with a Hymnal I had asked for. It was a wonderful day! My friends Dave and Esther offered to watch Kayce, which allowed us to enjoy eachother! Such a wonderful birthday. And yes, I am a quarter of a century old, which everyone loves to remind me. HOORAY I'M 25~ I am excited to see what this new year hold for me.

Kayce Joyale turns 1 !!!!

Well, it's been one year today that our little lady was born into the world!! I cannot even believe how quickly the time has gone by! Kayce is such a joy to both D.A and I and we are blessed to have the priveledge to raise this little girl! We had a birthday party for her today and about 30 people came! I was a little unsure how they were all going to fit in our place, but it worked out just fine!! As I was getting Kayce into her highchair I made sure to call my parents in NJ and D.A's parents in WV. IT WAS TIME TO SING, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" The thought never crossed my mind to CRY when singing this song, it has always been a joke and a smiley song. NOT TODAY! I couldn't even get through the song. Why did I cry? I cried because we were surrounded by people who love our LITTLE GIRL! One year ago, she was not even here, and one year later SOOO many people love her! She is ours. It was just emotional, but so exciting!!
I am thankful to be a mom! I love it to death! I pray that the Lord would be the forefront of all of our decisions and that Kayce would grow to love HIM!
