Lauren turns 28 today. It was Halloween night, 27 years ago, when my water broke and my husband rushed me to the hospital. The next day, today, I gave birth to my beautiful daughter, Lauren. She has been my pride and joy ever since. I could not have loved anyone more than her, or so I thought, her sister came along almost five years later and I realized I had enough love stored in me to love two daughters equally. I felt blessed. And I still do.

| Happy Birthday Lauren! |
If you asked me to describe Lauren to you, I would do so in the following manner:
- She was born Nov. 1 which means she is a Scorpio. While reading her horoscope today, something I never do, I discovered that Scorpios fall in love at first sight. She did this in 9th grade while camping with the family. She met Christopher, fell in love, told all of us she was going to marry him and even wrote out the wedding invitation. Eight years later she walked down the isle to marry him. 🙂
- She is kind, considerate, patient.
- She is faithful.
- She is smart, funny, witty, organized. She planned her entire wedding on a laptop in Germany while completing her student teaching.
- She is a special education teacher who is loved by her students.
- She is a wonderful mother to KJ- a curious 3 yr. old boy full of energy.
- She is a wonderful daughter.
- She is an older sister offering her guidance freely.
- She is someone you would want to have a beer with, laugh with, confide in, and have as your best friend.
She is amazing and anyone who knows her would tell you the same. That’s Lauren and I feel privileged to call her my daughter.
