Last Thursday we celebrated Briley Mae's 17th Birthday. Its hard to believe that our little girl is 17-years old, it does not seem possible that time has gone this fast. Once again, as I do every year I wore the pink polo I wore when she was born. Briley's birthday list was pretty typical for a teenage girl, swim suites, athletic ware, cloths, more cloths, a watch for Kanakuk, a photo printer for her phone, and a sweatshirt that goes to her knees. The younger kids were thoroughly unimpressed with her birthday haul, but she was happy. I think the gift she was most excited about was from her friend Malia, a trip with Malia and her mom to Anna Maria Island in Florida this summer. We celebrated with a room full of balloons and some monkey bread in the morning, Mi Ranchito with the Brawner's for dinner and Twisters frozen custard. We did have to put a candle in a buckeye and bring it up to her room to sing her happy birthday. She did not have a cake so we almost forgot about it.
Briley is our adventure leader and mother hen. She has persistence, determination, and a work ethic that is second to none. She makes goals and works her tail off until she attains them. She has Autumn's moral compass, her stubbornness when it comes to doing what is right, and her passion for making memories and living life to its fullest. We love you little girl and cannot wait to see what you do in life.
