Lily turned 14 years old at the end of our Fall Break trip this year. It's hard to believe how quickly time if flying right on by. Ryan and I are so incredibly proud of her and the young woman she is becoming. She loves the Lord, and we can see her relationship with Him deepening. She's a fiercely loyal friend, and she has some great ones. She's incredibly bright, and she's willing to help others when they are struggling with a concept in school. She's got an amazing wit and great sense of humor. She loves to read, play the piano, watch movies, find fun things on Pinterest, and bake. I love spending time with her and hearing about the world through her lens.
We recently went through our list of "favorite things" that we like to do each year. Here are her favorites at 14 years old:
Color - Pink
Movie - Little Women
TV Show - Guy's Grocery Games
Book - The Hunger Games series (she's loving dystopian novels)
Drink - Cherry Coke
Food - Queso
Memory from this last year - Camp Highland retreat with her school friends
Friend - Avery Hobson
Bible verse - 1 Peter 3:3-4
School Subject - Science (Mr Cown is a great teacher and she likes Earth science)
Activity - Volleyball
Place to Go - Disney World if it can be anywhere; Aquarium if it's around town
Game - Throw Throw Burrito
Restaurant - Superica (where we went for lunch on her actual birthday)
Animal - Otter
Most Thankful For - Her friends and family
Goal for this year - To make as many new friends as possible - Since there are some new kids at school, and we have recently changed churches to be a part of First Baptist Smyrna, this seems like a great and obtainable goal
We are so unbelievably proud to call Lily our daughter. She is lovely and wonderful and all around incredible. We are thankful for her every day.
