Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy...

God granted my wish but it came with a catch; He gave me my mini me, but I have to work for it each and every day of her life! This child tests my very last nerve, robs me of sleep, eats me out of house and home, tugs at my heart, and even gave me a gray hair! But I adore her, love her, and thank God every day that she is in my life. To see her laugh, hear her talk (and she talks A LOT!), watch her sleep, and help her grow is worth everything I go through ten times over.

To know Tristin is to know me... literally. She is my shadow, she is my humor, she is my attitude. The more I try to stop it, the more she fights to be what raises her. She makes me work hard to be a better person, a better woman, a better mother all because I know she's watching me so closely.

I am truly blessed. I hope she has enjoyed her first three years of life as much as I have and I can't wait to see what the future brings her.

Happy Birthday Tristin! Mommy loves you to the stars and back.
