Sixteen

And just like that, we have a new driver.

“Just wait until the teenage years” was often said to me with a derogatory tone. It implied that I would only have a few sweet years while my babies turned to children before those dreaded teenage years. I can respectfully respond to that now with a huge “F that!”

These have certainly been some of my favorite years as a mom. Being able to share (new to them) shows, inside jokes, and countless other milestones fill my heart with unmeasurable joy. Relationship advice, shared dreams for their future, helping with resumes and job prep, theological discussions, etc. I love this part!

Sure I’ll miss the many hours spent chauffeuring around and listening to him sing along quietly to country stations, but boy is it swell having another driver around here!
