My baby girl is all grown up!!!

Okay, yes, she's been a legal adult now for 1 1/2 years.  She amazes me.  She takes a full load of classes maintaining good grades, is active in her sorority, SGA senator, on the dance team and also works almost as many hours as I do. She's also drop-dead gorgeous! Both of my girls are.

But babygirl decided she no longer wanted to live on campus at college for several reasons. However, in the college town she's in, there aren't as many housing options as there are in other cities. So it was a real challenge to find something in her budget that wasn't a complete dump. I didn't have to do anything. She did it all.

She looked at several places. She found one she liked--fully furnished and most utilities are included in rent. She found a roommate. She determined if she could afford it or not (she can. She actually makes enough money at her job to handle her bills plus she'll get a refund from school for housing this semester to fall back on), obtained the application, filled out the application, coordinated everything all by herself and today, she moved in!

I know adults MY AGE that do not have enough sense to do this and the other kids her age--some can't even make their own doctor's appointments or pump gas!

I tell her over and over--this is adulting! This is why we get to buy alcohol! (well, she can in a few more years).

But I am SO proud of her for not only having intelligence and drive but having common sense!

I have made a lot of mistakes in my life--even when raising these kids. But by the grace of God, I must of have done a few things right because just look at them! All three are absolutely the best people I know.

Way to go, babygirl! Sad to see you all grown up and not needing your mom. But that means I did my job. I'm SO proud of you!!!!
