Destiny's 14th Birthday

july-2009-116-blog

Today marks Destiny’s 14th year.   She was born a month after I turned 23.  My first daughter & third baby, she was born when my oldest was 2 years old.  She emerged, squalling, after 30 something hours of labor.  I was so shocked (& so happy) that she was a girl.  I was so sure that she would be a boy that I hadn’t even brought girl clothes to the hospital. (that’s what happens when you have 8 brother and are short on sisters:).

Today Destiny spent the day in town with me and my mom.  We brought her to lunch and she picked out a gourmet chocolate mousse instead of a birthday cake.
