Adulting

So you are now an "adult".

18 on the 18th.
A golden birthday.

This past year has brought a ton of growth in you.

I've seen you step (tentatively) into leadership roles, take responsibility for your education, and really think through your future and what you want from it. You've decided and changed your mind and decided again.

I love this. I love to see you attempt adulting (which isn't always fun!) while still retaining your youth.

Currently you have loves (and even slight obsessions!) that have been super fun to watch:

• Grey's Anatomy (this makes you a doctor/nurse/intern)
• Leggings (the trend isn't dying anytime soon)
• Shoes (no preference, you embrace them all)
• Layering (another fashion trend that hangs on)
• Calendar/Agenda book (who knew you'd like paper so much?!)
• Chips and Salsa (I mean, what's not to love?!)
• Smelly things (candles/candle warmers/plugins)
• Popcorn (in the air popper!)
• COFFEE (ha!)
• Serving at PNO (heart)

There are several more things that interest you and all of them are shaping you into this beautiful young lady. 

I am praying that as you enter adulthood, you stay grounded in Him even when things don't seem so steady.

I love you very very much, Mlle Amelie.
