Almost six years ago I was sixteen, a sophomore in high school, and I got my drivers license. Six years seems like such a short time, yet in those six years, I have learned more than I could have ever imagined. It is crazy to think my baby sister is now going through some of the same things I went through, getting her license, stupid high school girl drama, fawning over boys, obsessing over everything and trying to pass math.
My prayer for her is that she will take the lessons she is learning through these tough high school years and use them to become a better person. My parents say I am more protective of Lindsey then they are. I say I know what she is going through and I do not want her to have to go through some of the hard things I went through at her age. I know I can not protect her from everything and I need to trust that God will teach and guard her heart, but I am still worried about her! Thankfully we have two amazing godly parents to help us through all of our trials and with their examples we can learn how to live a life pleasing to God.
Ok enough deep stuff! Lu had an awesome party Saturday with thirteen of her friends from school. Daddy cooked out some hamburgers and hot dogs and I made my famous hash brown casserole and frozen daiquiris and pina coladas(virgin of course). Mom ran around like a chicken with her head cut off making sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time!
Our family friend Olga made an AMAZING chocolate and peanut butter cake complete with a car and Lu on top! It was so cute and so good! After eating they all piled into an Escalade limo and went cosmic bowling! They were so impressed when Mr. T(the awesome limo driver) pulled into the McDonald's drive-thru and we got enough french fries to feed an army! Overall it was a great party and everyone had a blast! Hopefully this will be a Sweet Sixteen to remember!
Here are a few pictures from the party!
