Almost 16 years ago...

16 years ago tomorrow, a baby girl named Madison Renee Kassel was born on March 1st, 1997 at 12:41 in Bishop to a very caring family who loved her very much. At four months, she went to live with a loving couple that didn't have any babies of their own. They changed her name to Madison Marie Kollenborn, a name they knew she would love. Then 20 months later, the couple gave her a new baby sister named Emilee Rose Kollenborn. They lived in a pretty house in Mammoth.
 Then, they moved to a even prettier house in Kernville, were Madison and Emilee grew up and went to school. Madison loved soccer. Then the daddy got a higher job, so they moved to a big house in Coarsegold where the girls went to Jr. High.  Last year, Madison completed her freshman year in high school and this year in Sophomore year. Maddie joined lots of clubs and soccer teams and met her best friends for life. So, the little girl that was born on March 1st will be 16 years old tomorrow.
 That girl is yours truly. :)
