Where Does Time Go?

I have three girls. AnnaMae, Emily Rose and Erin Elaine. They are very different from one another, but they love each other just the same. When they were little, playing dress-up was one of their favorite things to do. We still have two large tubs full of neatly folded dress-up clothes that they have saved for their little girls. My oldest AnnaMae has been married for three years already. She is the mother of two darling little ones, Gabriel (3) and Gwendolyn (8 mo). She still loves playing dress-up and studies costume design just for fun. Emily, my middle daughter just got engaged to her highschool sweetheart and is getting married in September. Erin, is in her senior year of highschool and is excited to have a chance of life off our mountain. The reason for this blog is that I can't believe Emily (the one in the wedding dress) is getting married! Time goes by so quickly. It seems like just yesterday that these three girls were dressing up and pretending that they were grown up girls. Now they are... It is a blessing to be able to be proud of your daughters at this stage in life. I love them all very much, but more than that, I LIKE them. I love our conversations about God, husbands, being a mom, dating, friends and life. They are my dear friends and I can't imagine life without them. This weekend, AnnaMae and I are traveling to Simi Valley where Emily lives to go wedding dress shopping. Emily will undoubtedlly try on many beautiful gowns before she finds the" right" one. I look forward to sitting back and watching the "ultimate dress-up day." It's the day she has been waiting for all her life, and I get to be there. I can't believe we're here already, what fun!
