HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZ!!


I hope you had a great birthday! And the celebration continues tomorrow (as the Lewis tradition goes!)
It was fun hanging out for lunch/pedicures! I love getting to spend time with you and am going to miss you when we leave.
Also, I hope you know that this means you are no longer a teenager! Tomorrow will be your first day as an "adult." My "older sisters" advice for you would be this: It's ok to stand up for yourself. Now is the time in your life when you don't need to hold onto old friends, old ideas, and old ways.
Also, make some new goals for yourself and set out to accomplish them. I think you are an amazing young woman and you have so much going for you. Don't settle and don't let opportunities (like a study abroad!) pass you by. It's all about choices, make the right ones. You won't always have so many options and things won't always be so easy.
Love you, little sis!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Liz you are wonderful. I am so glad to see you so happy these days. It is fun to have you home and not "hatin'" it. You are a neat girl, and I love you very much. Don't let go of all of the old ways. There is a lot of good there. I hope this is a wonderful year for you filled with good health and happiness. You DESERVE it!! loveyoutonsmom

Maybe it's just the girly emotional side of me [because yes, I do have one], but I want to cry a little bit because of all those lovely little thoughtful words. :) Thanks family. My birthday wouldn't have been at all as perfect as it was because of you guys. Love you!
