Lexi's Meet n' Greet



I hope you learn how divine you are. how fun fashion is. how to jump rope. to love the beauty that surrounds you. to serve without reward.

I hope you aren't afraid to try anything. of the dark. to sing out loud. to work.

I hope you love deeply. without bias. to sleep. to see yourself in the mirror. passionately.

I hope you get everything you dream of and work for. to go to Disneyland. to fall in love. more beautiful day by day. to experience trials and peace.

I hope you laugh at yourself. everyday. till it hurts.

I hope you never forget why you're here. your Savior. family is everything. how great you are. you are stronger than you realize.

I hope you ignore your brothers, often. the negatives of life. mean girls. those who say you can't do something. the alarm clock.

I hope you become the very best you can be. whatever it is you want to be. a mommy. fabulous. virtuous, lovely, praiseworthy.

I hope you respect yourself, so others will too. your parents and grandparents. the love of your family. everyone who deserves it. absolute truth.

I hope you grow up happy. tall and strong. flowers. up very slowly. a testimony.


Thank you to Valerie, a great friend and host, and to all who attended to me and Lexi in our early weeks together. Thank you for joining me in celebration. Thank you for your kind words and well wishes for my baby girl. Your love overwhelms me.
