alexis taylor crowe arrived in this world on may 13, 1994.
she tortured my poor sister with a horrific labor for an entire day, refusing to be born on my sister's birthday...no, she wanted a day all to herself.
and she got it :)
happy seventeenth birthday sweet alexis.
from early on you have shown fierce determination (sometimes it wasn't pretty LOL).
that determination, combined with the love & guidance your family has given you, has shaped you into an amazing young woman.
you stand head and shoulders above the crowd, literally (well, at least when you're standing next to jordan...hee hee) and figuratively.
i love how you stand your ground. i love that you aren't afraid to speak your mind. i love that you know who you are.
and who you are is wonderful.
i have loved the last few years we've had together in texas. having you nearby through your high school years has been lots of fun...and now we head into another season...pretty soon you'll be heading off to college to be a track star!
apply the same discipline, the same determination, the same effort that you use to make you a winner on the track and you will go FAR in this life.
and no matter where i am, know that i'll be cheering you on (but no one...i mean, no one...can cheer as loud as your momma...hee hee).
here are a few pics that make me smile :)
^^^then...and now:
twenty four days until you get a big ol' birthday hug from me.
can't wait.
have a happy, happy birthday & i'll have cake for you when you get here!
xoxo,
aunt wendy
