Today was a fun day. I didn't get much work done, I'll admit, but it was still fun. Today was our "baby's" 18th birthday.
OLIVIA PARKE TAYLOR - one of her elementary school teacher's once told her her name sounded like a movie star's name. She hates her middle name, but she didn't get a choice in that.
So - as we did with her older sisters before her - on the day of her 18th birthday, Joelene and I interrupted all of her senior-high classes one-at-a-time all day long (I'm sure her teachers loved that, but that's a perk of being the pastor at your own Christian school) to give her 18 things each hour.
1st hour - 18 flowers
2nd hour - 18 balloons
3rd hour - 18 dollar bills taped to cardboard in the shape of the 'number 18'
4th hour - 18 birthday cards
5th hour - 18 Starbucks cups (it's one of her favorite places to go)
6th hour - was lunch, so we let her eat in peace
7th hour - 18 cupcakes (right after lunch - PERFECTO!)
8th hour - 18 candy bars
9th hour - 18 chapsticks (she's constantly dabbing with those things)
Happy birthday, Olivia. You're now - officially - a woman!
And be blessed.
