My gorgeous eldest daughter turned 16 recently...we are officially at the age of the driver's license and driver education classes!I am amazed by the young woman I live with. She is so very confident, so comfortable in her own skin at such a young age. During the first week of high school this year she came home all excited because she was given Sports Advertising as an elective class. Supportive, I thought it was great and told her so! "And I am the only girl in the class with 24 guys"
"How do you think that happened?", I asked her.
"Well, I do have a name that can be used for a girl or a boy so maybe that's it"
"Oh, yes", I said, "Well, look, if you want me to give the school a call and change you out..."
"No, that's ok, I think I like it!"
You go, girl!

Congratulations to your daughter Tara. Turning sixteen is such an important time. She is lovely, just like her mother.
Happy Birthday.

They do grow up so fast dont they Tara, I always wished my 2 girls, 12 and 11 will never grow up. Glad you went home to wipe off the Irish skin :D
What a beautiful young lady! Isn't it great to watch our kids grow up and find their way? ~Adrienne~

I was assigned to a boys gym class because my last name is Jacksier and my school assumed I was Jack Sier. At the time, I thought it was terribly unfair that I wasn't allowed to stay!
It sounds like you've done a terrific job in raising her! Happy sweet 16! I hope she doesn't have to take her driving test in a 1978 Mercury Grand Marquis like I did! That thing was as big as a barge!
Happy Sweet 16! Tara sweetie, your daughter is gorgeous! Wishing you a lovely day, and your daughter a year full of all her dreams starting to come true!

Happy birthday to your sweet 16 year old! She is confident because of what she sees in her mother, a confident strong woman!!
Good for her staying in that class. I bet it will be a class she always remembers fondly!!
Hugs, Sherry
