She’s watching us grow into the women she raised us to be.

This past November, I flew down to spend time with Michele, Lisa and family. It was a very memorable trip because Lisa got engaged and we all got to share that moment together! Each year, Lisa and Mike (now fiance) go to the Orlando International Auto Show so Mike planned a to pop the question this year (so Lisa wasn’t suspicious!) and Michele and I were in on it! It was such an exciting day, knowing what was to come!

Sorry the picture is so small…having some technical difficulties tonight. That’s Michele, Lisa and myself just after the proposal. I know it was such a proud moment for Michele to see her daughter get engaged. We count our blessings for all the milestones we can celebrate together – whether it’s something as big as an engagement or getting a new job. Family is about supporting each other through the good times and the bad times.

To Michele, we’ll always be her little girls.

And I’m so glad she’s watching us grow into the women she raised us to be.
