the big birthday countdown. TEN!

ten days until austin turns EIGHTEEN.



i know every parent says it, but there's a reason...it's true!!!! IT FEELS LIKE JUST YESTERDAY he was little.



seriously. time goes so fast. and it's kind of surreal for me as i drive around town because this is where he was born. this is where he spent the first couple years. i worked close by...we took him to the beach...now HE'S looking for work close by...and he's going to the beach without us LOL.





in honor of R. AUSTIN LEE (did you know austin is his MIDDLE name?), here goes my ten day tribute:




R is for ROBERT. but it's also for RESPECTFUL.




it's one of your best traits, bud. thank you for respecting me. for respecting your dad. for respecting the rules...ours as well as all the other ones that affect you.



you are SUCH a good kid and i'm proud to call you son.



and know that just because this first one was all mushy doesn't mean that the next nine days won't hold some sarcastic wit or some moments where i totally make fun of you :) that's my job. i encourage you...and i keep you humble. hee hee.



xoxo.
