Bad photo I know but this is circa 1994 I think. I was a student at the University of Oregon and just getting to know my first husband's perfect little daughter Brandi.
Fast forward to just a couple weeks ago ~ SEVENTEEN YEARS LATER and we're at Brandi's graduation from the U of O. It was a wonderful day but it is a little unsettling when you realize how quickly she has grown up. I have no freakin' idea how the years fly by so fast.
And now I have two beautiful daughters who make me so proud! How did I get to be so lucky?
