Ariel Lanae Hendrix












Today is Ariel's 18th birthday! She has waited for this day for...well... 18 long years. She was born at 3:45 in the morning. She has been a night owl from birth. She has always been a strong minded, determined girl. Here are some of my favorite Ariel quotes: "Mom, does your brain get all swirled up sometimes?" (four years) Looking at the caller ID and seeing LDS Church..."Here mom, it's for you...it's the Mormons." (12 years) Speaking about the youth activity water olympics: "It's so stupid, if I wanted to get wet, I'd go swimming or take a shower." (13 years) After looking at Ariel's grades online and seeing she was getting a "D" in Spanish... I said, "Ariel, you're getting a "D" in Spanish!" She shrugged and said, "I don't speak Spanish." (15 years) Ariel inherited a keen sense of humor, and keeps us laughing all the time. She has been blessed with many talents and we love her very much. Happy Birthday, Ariel!! Congratulations, you are now, officially..."an adult."

I agree - what a funny girl! She always keeps us entertained on our visits. Next time we come, you'll have to drag her back home too! It would be so sad to visit without her there!

It's the mormons...I love it.

Happy Birthday, Ariel. Remember when I used to babysit you and now you're in college? That doesn't mean I'm old, though.
