Happy Birthday to ME!

I was born a fiery red -- with too many red blood cells. After a blood transfusion, my insides and my flaming skin were corrected . . . but may my fire for life never go out!
Today I celebrate 32 years of Life.
It has been a good life, with much joy in it. Looking over the years I feel like time has just flown by, without ever letting me catch-up. I still feel like a sixteen year-old girl, but now, I am double that! How does that happen? I am excited about the future -- and all the possibilities. I hope the next 32 years will be as sweet . . . and 32 more years after that. :-)

A walk down memory lane with Mari . . .
Big Eyes

Nice Bangs!
The Teenage Years . . .







Becoming an "Adult"

Becoming a Mommy

It was a rough start coming into the world 32 years ago . . . but it has been worth it. :-)
