October 28

I've mentioned before that I've never been a morning person and that continues to be true. But when Abby asked if I could take her to school before sun-up this morning so she could help hang posters for Red Ribbon Week, I happily complied.

After nagging her about joining clubs all throughout her freshman year (which didn't work at all, for the record; teen-1, mom-0 on that one), I'm so proud of her for stepping outside of her comfort zone and taking part in various activities this year. She truly is becoming quite the young woman and I'm beyond blessed to be her mom (even if it means driving her to school in the dark sometimes).
