Jason and I met in 1994 in Dallas Texas. We worked together at a software company and became great friends. Our first date was magical. He took me to a great Italian restaurant, where they played beautiful music at our table. He was such a gentleman. Bought me flowers, held my hand, opened my car door, just treated my like a real lady. I said to myself, "Someday I'm gonna marry that man" And sure enough I did. This November will be 15 years. The good ones are few and far between. I was the lucky one.
Our oldest daughter Madison has a hold around my soul. I call her my "pride". I am always so proud in everything that she does. She is a beautiful young lady with long blonde hair and blue eyes. Absolutley stunning. She is a kind hearted child who is such a people pleaser. Her heart is as big as Texas. She would say that pink is not her favorite color. That hairbows and perfume really aren't that important. Her passion is playing soccer. Although she can be shy, when she plays soccer another personality shines though. School comes easy for her so far, and for that I am greatful. Academics were never my stong point. She hopes to attend the University of Texas someday. I suppose I better start looking for a job.
Our and youngest daughter is Grace. Where do I begin? I call her my "joy". This child was my miracle baby. She was born 7 weeks early and stayed 2 weeks in the NICU. The doctors came in and let me know that due to her being born so early, that she would likely be slow, and behind on things. Well, those who know little Grace, slow does not fit in her vocabulary. She is a beautiful little girl with dark brown curly hair and chocolate pie eyes. Dimples you could plant trees in. Her smile can light up a room. Everyday she makes me laugh. Not afraid to get dirty, yet still appreciates dressing up and playing in Mommy's makeup. She doesn't miss a thing. Always busy. Her passion is dancing! Loves, loves music. I'm convinced that someday she will be some kind of performer.
Put all this together, and we are the Reynolds family. Just ordinary people with ordinary lives, and blessed with what the Lord has given us.
