Miss me a little?

Today was another milestone for my baby girl (ok maybe she's not the baby but she'll always be my baby.) I took Leigha to the church today to drop her off for church camp. She was so excited! She literally counted down the days when she'd be spending (3) nights away from home with her best friend, Shelby. It was a multitude of emotions as we gathered together in prayer before they boarded the bus. I was excited for her because I have wonderful memories of my weeks spent at church camp as a child but she'd never been away from me for this long unless it was to grandma's. I was diligent to go over with her all of the things she'd have to do by herself that I'm so used to helping her with. I'm sure she probably thought, "Ok mom enough already," several times. When our prayer circle closed, Abbie and I got one last hug and kiss goodbye. Then she clasped Shelby's hand and off they strolled to the bus. I only cried a little but little sister had a small meltdown. Abbie will definitely be happy when Thursday gets here. I can't wait til she gets home either, bubbling over with all her stories. Until then I'll pray she's safe, learning to love and trust God, and missing me... at least a little.
