Lily reached the big 1-0 yesterday. Lily is just about the coolest girl I know. One of the things I admire most about her is her ability to love everyone. She has never met anyone yet that she doesn't get along with. Mostly this is because her interests are so broad. She loves to do EVERYTHING! This girl would spend her life learning everything possible...if there is a camp or class to do something... she is asking me to do it. She works until she can do it and then wants to learn more. She puts her heart into everything from taekwondo to guitar to math to pogo sticking. Lily is pretty much everything I wanted to be as a girl. She makes friends easily. She's athletic. She's smart. She doesn't take herself too seriously and knows how to laugh at herself if she makes a mistake. She loves God. She loves people. She's serious. She's hilarious. She's beautiful inside and out. 
I love this girl so much and incredibly thankful to God for letting me borrow her. Happy (one day late) Birthday, Lily Marie.
