This is Marissa, my "baby" who turned (dare I tell?) 27 years old on the day before yesterday. She is married to Dustin and they are the proud parents of three girls: Hope, Lilly & Bailey. In this picture, Marissa is taking a short break from zipping around the Long Beach area on this snazzy yellow moped (summer 2007). Marissa is also beautiful and smart (a pattern is beginning to emerge here) and she speaks her mind. There is never any question about how she feels or what she thinks. I enjoy listening to her share her points of view--she is very articulate. She often gives me a lot to think about--especially when she makes observations about me or something that I do. ;-0
