Here she is - we're waiting in line at the DMV for the doors to open.
Today is her 16th birthday and she's been driving for a year and is getting her license.
She was nervous, excited, scared, and bursting with emotions.
(so was I)
We met a friend of hers there.
Her mom and I graduated high school together.
Then we worked together years later.
Our sons are friends.
And we shared in this milestone together this morning.
Here is my baby girl showing you her license.
16 years ago today I went to the doctor for my check-up.
We lived about 40 minutes from the hospital/doctor.
It was at that doctor visit that I was told I was at 7cm.
I had no idea!
20 minutes later I held my daughter in my arms for the first time.
Today she has wings to fly.
She's so excited.
I'm so proud of the young woman she is.
I'm a lucky mom.

Suzanne, I enjoyed reading your blog post today about the excitement of expecting your baby, and delivering her in the hospital -- and now she's got her driver's license! How special!
Thanks, too, for your comment on The Gypsy Mama's (Lisa-Jo's) blog at (in)courage today. I couldn't figure out how to leave a comment for you so I hopped on over to your blog, and I am glad I did!
