So, I must apologize for not blogging for so long! I know how you long to read my blogs, don't you? LOL!! I'm just kidding! But I didn't realize how long it had been until I started reading other people's blogs and realized it had been over a month since I last blogged! WOW! Time flies! Well, it has been a rough month or more, thus the reason I have not blogged in a while! So, let's go back to when the madness began shall we??
My oldest daughter Katelyn decided she wanted to be in the Junior Miss Dogwood pageant back in January. I was very skeptical because pageants just aren't her thing. I asked her almost every week to make sure that she really wanted to do it, but she never hesitated and never changed her mind. I finally began to enjoy the experience with her, dressing her up, seeing how much she is growing and becoming ever so beautiful. So a little over a month ago the everyday practices began, so this is where I dropped off the face of the earth I think!
Practices were good, just stressful for me. The girls had fun, and I wanted them to practice and be serious. I eventually got over that and just enjoyed spending the time with her and watching her laugh and talk with the other moms. It was bliss I tell you, pure bliss. Then the pageant finally showed up! Man, she was beautiful and held herself very well. Her on-stage question was done so much better than she had practiced and she was poised and beautiful. I could not have been prouder! I wanted to cry on so many occasions, but my pride swelled up inside and all I could do was stand in awe.
I know that as parents, we will make mistakes and that as teenagers, they will say and do things that are hurtful, but I know that we are all growing through this process. But as I watch her, I continuously pray that God would lead her and that she would follow. She has an amazing heart, a contagious personality and she is growing into a beautiful young woman.
