My oldest girl is seventeen today.

She became a licensed driver earlier this week. She has dreams of one day owning a purple ‘81 Corvette.  She is earning college credit and learning Calculus and still taking care of a flock of chickens.

She makes really intricate, creative jewelry.  She helps with house projects.  She randomly creates dress patterns.

She is growing in compassion and wisdom and responsibility.

We love our Miss Bethany so.  What a treasure these seventeen years have been.
