Happy Birthday to my wonderful daughter, Christa Noelle Caulk.
It is hard to believe that 28 years ago today you came into my life and changed me forever.
Born on December 20th in Auburn, Alabama, with a head full of hair, you were the best Christmas gift I ever received. We named you Christa, (Christ with an A) and Noelle (because you were born at Christmas time)
Like any mother and daughter relationship, we had our struggles during those last few years of high school. But, now our relationship has grown into a friendship like none other.
You never made me happier, the day you came to me and said, "Mommy, I want to go into real estate with you." We had never talked about it, so besides the initial shock, I was thrilled. Did I tell you, I like that you still call me, "mommy"?
The last 4 years of you being on my team, I have seen you grow and mature in your knowledge and wisdom. Your clients in Ann Arbor all LOVE you, and refer you to their friends so that you rarely need me. You have the character to stick with deals, when I would have given long given up.
I was so proud of you when you gave your U of M. football tickets to a client who had never been to a game.
I can't wait to see what the future holds for you the next few months as you start doing the Sports Talk Radio Show in Ann Arbor on WTKA. As you told Sam, "I learned X's and 0's on my high chair." You will be a great announcer and the "girl everyone wants to wake up to".
Have a wonderful day, and I'm off to bake that Red Velvet Cake that is your favorite.
I love you, Bubba Girl!

Missy.... this is a great tribute to your daughter.... Sounds like not only a great daughter, but a great friendship. And I am so jealous, that she will be on a sports radio show. Wow... can I marry her? ;o) Seriously, Happy B-day Christa.
