This was an eventful year for her (and Drew). She worked at Target on Stellhorn this year - going in from 4 am to 8 am - all while being pregnant. It allowed them to have some extra income, it was convenient as far as their kids were concerned, and I think it allowed Carrie a chance for some 'adult' time away from the kids. Plus she has always seemed to like working. Not that she doesn't work plenty hard as a stay-at-home mom. I am so proud of how they have made their family work. I'm sure it can seem a little overwhelming at times, but I think they will be glad they did things the way they did down the road.
Perhaps the biggest event of the past year was the birth of her 3rd child - Caleb Daniel. Another large baby, but I was glad the delivery went well. It's also nice to see her getting back into form as the beautiful young woman she is. And I was pretty ecstatic when I found out his middle name. :)
One of the things I love the most about Carrie is that she is so very similar to me in her head and her heart, but I thank God that she got enough of her mother to make her a much better person than I ever was. She now has a great husband and three super kids - Anna, Bennett, and Caleb. I/we couldn't be more proud of them all.
Tonight we will party together at Dr. John's house, where he is cooking us all filet mignon. There may also be a few more surprises.
Happy Birthday, sweetie!! I love you lots!
