happy 19th birthday dear Anna Grace

19 years ago, my bestie, Julie and I drove to Huxley, Iowa after a fun week with our friends Trish and Bob is Cincinnati.  We planned an evening at brother Kent and sister in law, Brenda's house on Brenda's birthday and found a note on the door that they were at the hospital. We drove to the Ames hospital and found a really excited Kent just laying down for a nap.
He gave us keys to their house and we proceeded to drive back to Huxley, got a good night's sleep and returned to Ames in the morning. The rest of my family had arrived as we anxiously awaited the birth of Anna Grace.

A beautiful blonde baby girl made her appearance on March 22, 1996. Happy birthday lovely lady.
