Happy Birthday Whitney!

Today is a special day at our house (actually her house).  Our daughter Whitney turns 29 today and she is now the same age as her Mother!  Whitney has been such a blessing to our lives.  To have a 29 year old daughter is hard to fathom.  She was born a couple of days after Dedo and I went to see "Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom" in 1984.  Labor started during the scene when Indiana Jones slices the cooked dinner snake's belly and hundreds of snakes pour out on the table.  One look at Dedo and I could tell she was toast.  We waited a couple of days to go to the hospital because it was still 2 weeks until her due date.  Sure enough, she had Whitney early.

Today, Whitney is a testimony to God's love.  Anyone who knows her sees that God has gifted her to work with children.  Her students, parents, school administrators, friends and family watch her skill and caring with every child she has come into contact with.  When she graduated from high school, she headed out to Texas Tech where she met some baseball player who grew up down the street, even though we didn't know it.  She married Brian in 2008 and it is amazing to think about the influence they both have on children.  Three months ago, Whitney gave birth to our first grandchild.  Weston is the luckiest kid in the world.

I can't wait to see what God has planned for Whitney in the future.  I know she is following after God and He has great things for her.

Happy Birthday Whit!
