• Destiny Hope is 8!

  8 Things I LOVE about our Hopie!!

                              

  1. She says the funniest things. Seriously.
  For instance on the way home tonight she lifted up her shirt squeezed together her belly fat and said, “Look at this Mommy. All of this has been hiding under my shirt for years!”

    

  2. She is a great helper.
  Now I just need to work harder to LET her help and stop feeling like I have to do everything myself so it will be up to my standard!

     

  3. She is brave.
  I was scared to do everything when I was a kid; so it makes me so happy to see her do things that take guts. We went indoor rock climbing a couple of months ago and she wouldn’t even rest. She was just climbing one wall after another. She’s my hero.

   

  4. She loves to sing.
  I have told most everyone I know about this, but a few months ago we were riding in the car and she said, “Mommy, I want to be a singer when I grow up. I kind of wanted to be a singer like Kari Jobe, but now I think I will be more like Justin Bieber because I can’t think of many words that rhyme with Jesus.”

  
                 
  5. She is so cute.
  I love that she stands out. I love her curly hair. I love her freckles. I love her dimpled smile. I love her eyes.

    

  6. She loves her daddy.
  They are so close. They need each other. When she hasn’t had enough daddy time we all know it!! I am so glad that they have each other.

        

  7. She loves her brother.
  She sleeps in his bed with him every night. Every few months we decide that she needs to sleep in her own bed, but before long she’s talked us into letting her sleep in there again. They talk at least an hour every night. Even after a day of fighting and bickering ALL day long, you can hear them in there whispering long after they should be asleep.

      

  8. She’s mine.
  I always feel a little guilty saying this, but the happiest day of my life was the day I found out she was going to be a girl. She was my very first dream. A baby girl of my very own.

            

  Happy Birthday to my Sweetie Hopie! You bring me so much happiness!!
