A Tribute to Ten Years

7/7/2017

God certainly had a sense of humor as the events of the previous day (July 6, 2007) unfolded ten years ago. I was twelve days away from my due date with my first baby. My husband Randy was to be the best man in his best friends wedding 3 hours away form home.

As we sat in the doctors office my hidden anxiety built to the words , "We cannot send you home. We have to send you to the hospital to be induced". 
Wait, WHAT!?! I am a Wedding Coordinator/Designer, how can I possibly take the best man away from a wedding? 
The suppressed anxiety of my husband being away so close to my due date had increased my blood pressure. It was beyond my control at this point.

After twenty-four hours on labor inducing medication and a few complications my son was born on July 7, 2007 (7/7/07 the epic birthday)! 

​And so our ADVENTURE began.......TEN YEARS AGO!  
In tribute to my son's big milestone and with the help of Facebook "On This Day"  I have compiled some memories to share with you and as a gift to him. 

July 7, 2007 The Day you were born

Even at two years old you were showing your true personality! Exemplifying the true MacGregor traits you were already trying to fill your daddy and granddaddy's shoes and embracing the creek life.

My birthday boy didn't want me to post a pic but he chose a DQ chilli dog for his birthday dinner! This mama is a little grossed out! .........I ate my grilled chicken and green salad beforehand. (Ok maybe I'm missing the Blizzard a tiny bit though).

I LOVE THIS KID! This once "hard to handle boy" has turned into one of the most AMAZING kids I know! He is hardworking always willing to lend a hand, has the sweetest heart, and finds a friend wherever he goes! Just like a MacGregor will talk your ear off! I'm so proud of the young (still little to me) man he is becoming! Happy birthday buddy! I can't believe your 9!!! ❤

 My #littlewolverine, you are no longer my little boy but now a young man. This has been a tremendous year of growth for you. Somehow God has given me strength and persistence for the years of struggle with your strong will. We endured a hard year of homeschooling focusing much time on building character. But, your strong will has given you a determination and strength that will make you an amazing leader like your dad; yet your heart is tender, allowing God to lead you in the right direction. You work hard always willing to lend a hand. A true MacGregor legacy. You have never met a stranger who couldn't potentially be a life long friend. You seek people out hoping to meet a need. You have become an incredible prayer warrior and your giving heart is a virtue that is always evident. You are innovative and brilliant when it comes to building things. And you ALWAYS have something to say! You ARE an AMAZING young man! Your Dad and I are so blessed and  proud to be your parents! We love you Buddy!
