Hey Y'all, thanks so much for the well wishes and warnings too. We just got back and had a great time. She finally got to try The Olive Garden and managed to pick up a few "extras" too. Irish, because I know she'll be a legal driver soon I got her a cellphone. She's a pretty good driver but I feel better knowing she's just a few numbers from telling me when something's wrong. She's already got a car, her Mom got a deal on a used Toyota so she's set the be free....I guess that's what's made me sorta sentimental about this birthday. She'll have more to do elsewhere and I might not see as much of my baby. Like I said earlier though. I'm proud of who she is and trust that she knows how to act. <sigh> Just another milestone, but she's still my baby.
