Lauren is 23 today!

Thought it would be appropriate to mention that today Lauren turns 23. What this also means is that exactly 23 years (and 20 minutes) ago, I became a Mom! It was an amazing moment, as is looking at who Lauren is today. Some of what happened in between was great and some not so easy, but the sum of it all is that I have an awesome 23-year old daughter whom I would not want to miss for the world!


To celebrate her birthday, Lauren went to Disneyland with her friend, Jonelle. It is a free ride (excuse the pun) on your birthday. Not too shabby, considering they now charge $72 admission per person!

Here is Lauren, hamming it up by the big L.
