***DISCLAIMER*** I tried recording under a new setting; the audio turned out horrible. Today is Carmen’s 18th birthday! Before we get to her weekend celebration, I wanted to reflect on how cool it has been to watch her grow up, how fulfilling it is to witness her reach milestones of development along the way, and to wish her the very best as she enters the adult world. Congrats, Carmen! You’re an adult now; welcome to real life. 🎁
