almost......all grown-up

So, my oldest daughter, Shelby flew to Texas to see her best friend and visit my sister and her family. This was her first trip by herself and I was very nervous, especially with her switching planes and staying in a hotel by herself, etc... She did great - I did too! Being the big worrier that I am. She had a wonderful time with Scottie - loved going to his graduation (he's in the airforce) and spending time with him. My sister and her family picked her up and she got to spend 2 days with them too. I think I never prayed so hard as I did for her while she was gone. Thank God she had a wonderful time.

I cannot believe how much she is growing up and the good choices she has been making. We had a nice family dinner last night and it is good to have her home.

Used lots of new goodies on my layout - many from my Secret Cupid - Karen sent me some very pretty stuff for the swap - Thanks again!! ;-)

Perfect title for this and it's so great to see them become independent but also kind of hard too! Love how you used your new goodies!

So glad your daughter had a safe trip...it is so hard to send them off on their own. She is a beautiful girl and the layout it FABULOUS! It doesn't hurt that the color combination is one of my favorites! Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!

Gorgeous layout Lisa... Letting your 'little' ones grow up is hard, but it sounds like your DD is going to be just fine! Doesn't stop you worrying though does it!
