Lori, here is kiss to you...so you can wipe it off your cheek and say "ick". This was a game we played from when she was very young...at least I think it was a game, regardless, I kissed her anyway!
Lori was born in California, but she and her parents moved to Portland, OR when she was a little over a year old. She was an early bloomer...walking at just 7 mos old. And let me tell you, she hasn't let any grass grow under her feet since! And she definitely has a bit of me in her....very independent, sometimes to her parents dismay! However, after saying that, she is a very thoughtful young lady and very focused.
She knew one speed growing up and it was fast. I can remember her riding her bike as fast as her little legs would pedal...and she didn't know how to brake...just run into something, fall, get up and do it all over again. I can't tell you how many times she scared the daylights out of me.
Then she found horses. We sent her to horse camp in 2002...and the love with horses still continues today. She is an excellent rider, has competed in Rodeo's, and trains horses as well. She loves all animals and if her parents would let her she would have a gazillion animals. She has raised lambs, llamas, alpaca's, rabbits, chickens, horses, and dogs.
Lori graduated from high school this year...and she is one smart young lady. Still isn't sure what she wants to be, so far it has ranged from being a vet, to a coroner, nurse, surgeon, etc. However, she has some interest in political science as well...so only time will tell.
Whatever she decides will be her life calling, she will be very good at it. That is just the kind of person she is. Happy 18th Birthday sweetheart....we love you.
