Hope Ella

(Rachel read this to her)

My dear sweet Hope Ella Grace Libby...

I remember the first day I met you at your house in Brooks you were SOO little and just learning to really talk and you said "Hi Missa Mary"
I fell in love and knew that we would be great friends!

For those that don't know, Hope is my mini me... She is JUST how I was when I was her age.
Rachel has used my mom quite a few times for help on how to not "forget" her daughter at the store...
We have bonded in a way that no one else can, don't get me wrong I love all the Libby kids!

I love to hear her stories and how her mind works.
I love that she is a romantic and LOVES love.
I love that she can't quite say her "R's" I couldn't either!
I love that next to Chris and myself she is the most excited about my wedding
I love when she laughs really hard!
I love that she use to ask ALWAYS "Where's your Dog? At your house?" But she sounds like she is from Brooklyn.
I love that she loves Jesus with all her heart.
I love that she adores her mom and wants to be just like her someday.
I love that she loves her dad and has so must respect for him.
I love how she takes care of all of her siblings (she will be a great mom!)

Most of all...

I love that she loves me!
She is really one of my most favorite people in the whole world.
I can't wait to see who she will become.

Hope Ella, you are one of my best friends and I couldn't imagine life without you. You make me so happy!

Happy Birthday! We will party like rockstars on Sunday for
                                      sure girly!
