Lucy is TWENTY Today! Happy Birthday Lu!

Today marks TWENTY years since Lucy became mine. Oh how I adore that girl!

Right now I am at my brother’s retreat in Flims, Switzerland. It is amazing, (so much more about it soon), but BOY, I’m missing my birthday girl.

Thank goodness Elle and Grace are there to help her celebrate. Can you tell how happy we all are about that?

That Lucy loves her birthdays, so this means more than I can say to see these gals together.

And can you tell she’s pretty happy to have those sisters there to do our traditional streamers-on-the-door tradition?

Yep, she loves it.

Ok, some things I love about our Lucy girl on her big birthday:

—she is kind
—she is quick to apologize when she realizes she made a mistake
—her texts filled with hearts and love
—she is so aware of her friends and works to take such good care of them
—she is stubborn which makes her accomplish so much.
—She doesn’t take no for an answer, she knows how to make things happen.
—if she doesn’t know how to do something, she figures it out. She’s not afraid to ask total strangers for help
—she asks deep questions about God and wants to figure out how she feels herself
—she loves a good tradition and holds us to them
—she loves and FEELS beauty
—Lucy is always up for a good game night
—she is quick to make sure I’m ok if I’m a little quiet
—she gets so excited about rain
—she loves to read and gets addicted to a good book
—she kicks her heels and jerks out her elbows when she’s excited
—she glows, and she is my example in so many things!

Love you forever my dear 20 year old, I’m so so so grateful you are mine! Forever and ever!
