The entire day was planned. First, she went to work while I cleaned the house and got ready for the party. When she got home, she enjoyed all the sweet cards, gifts, pumpkins, and watermelons.
Next, the family went for a jog on the Swamp Rabbit.
And to eat, her preferred restaurant was Don Pablos. But, we accidentally got her an On the Border gift card, so we went there instead.
It's hard to believe our oldest can now vote, buy lottery tickets, get married, apply for a credit card, enlist in the military, go to her own medical appointments, sign for a loan, or buy cigarettes, all without the consent of her parents. It's time like this when we have to trust in our daughter to make good decisions, know we raised her with our best efforts, and pray that our Lord will always guide her. Happy 18th Birthday, my sweet baby girl!
