I had a great weekend in Hebron with my family to celebrate my youngest neice Rayghan's 1st birthday party. Jamison and I arrived at my parent's house one hour prior to the start of the party to find all the decorations laying on the dining table. Since my sister is a huge procrastonator, we decided to help her set up the decorations. They were all tiaras and everything to do with being a princess! Rayghan just started walking on Friday and is already a pro. I love her to death, but she can be a drammmmmma queen and she knows it! She received many wonderful presents from family and friends; however the tissue paper seemed to be her favorite gift. Because I live 2 hours away from my family I haven't had the opportunity to watch her grow up the way I was able to do with all my other 5 neices and nephews. I miss this and dearly hope I can have the same close relationship with her that I have been able to create with all the others.
While my youngest neice was celebrating this milestone, my oldest neice, Vanessa, was celebrating her own. She moved out of her mom's house and into an apartment with her boyfriend! I felt very old as I took her guided tour and started remembering her 1st birthday party. The time truly does fly by. This weekend taught me to cherish every single moment and not to look too far into the future...enjoy the present and take every moment into your heart because before you know it your 1st birthday princess is 19 years old and all grown up.
