Happy Birthday DD 1

Happy Birthday to my lovely DD #1, who turns 14 today.  I will delve momentarily into the cliche world of motherly pride and start by saying, this amazing young woman is a girl who is going places.  She has her head screwed on straight (except for where One Direction is concerned--bring up Liam Payne and forget brain power and prepare yourself for random giggling/glassy eyed squealing), her heart in the right place (except for the 5:45 am drives to the pool where she is decidedly not kindly but rather a grunty beastly thing---we are making a charming tim horton's commercial where she grunts while i drink coffee and whistfully shove her out the door with my foot), and is ready to take on change with more confidence then many adults possess (this is true on all fronts, no witty comments to make).  At 14 I am beginning to see the amazing woman this beautiful girl will become and I am excited to take that journey with her.
