I can't believe how fast the time has flown. I remember the day that Brianna was born so clearly. It seems like yesterday. We were living in a two-bedroom apartment that felt like a palace since we had just moved from a small studio apartment that we had lived in for three years. Brianna was due on May 2 and Jeffrey had been born about 10 days early. Spring break for Curtis was about that time, so it would have been perfect, but she didn't come. We did buy a new bed though. The week before Brianna was born, it was crazy. Curtis had a million things to do that week that he couldn't get out of. Friday night was the last have-to for Curtis and after that was over, was when she decided to come. Fifteen hours later she was born April 27, 2001 at 11:50 a.m. She had masses of dark hair and weighed a whopping 7 lbs. 15 oz. She still holds that record in our family. When I think back to those times, I'm reminded that it's not money and things that make you happy. Happiness is in relationships, children, service, faith etc. Those eight years have flown by, and I can't believe that Brianna is eight. Happy Birthday Brianna. We love you so much.
