Today is your Mommy's birthday and you are almost here!
I wanted to tell you all about your Mom, and what she was like before you came.
The very first time I ever saw your mom was in January of 2006. She was on a computer and I introduced myself to her. I thought she was so beautiful. She had the cutest blonde hair, and the sweetest smile. I even get butterflies right now thinking about the first time I saw your mother.
Your mother is beautiful. I think you are going to be too! I think you'll look just like her, and that makes me so happy.
I really noticed your mom this one morning when I had to wake up early. It was 5am and I had to walk through the dining room and there was your mom, sitting over a bowl of cereal and a Bible in her pajamas. She had waken up early to pray. That really got my attention, because she was absolutely stunning, but she wasn't stuck up about it. She had the sweetest spirit in her. She was so kind, and gentle and funny. She was everything I was waiting for, and even more than that.
She did think I was pretty funny. I would secretly find her in a crowd and try to tell funny stories. Or we would stay up late and watch funny videos on the internet. Your mother was getting more and more beautiful to me.
I remember it really hit me when me and your mom went to Japan together. One night I had bought a movie I wanted to watch, but your mom was kind of over it. When she left the room it was like my heart sank. I secretly just wanted to watch the movie with her, and it was driving me crazy that I couldn't say it. I started to realize that I really liked your mom. I had butterflies all the time around her.
We really love each other. We laugh a lot. We can stay up talking until late, and laughing. Your mother has a very weird sense of humor, and it makes me laugh! She is still so caring towards me. She is still so gentle. And she is still so beautiful.
I want to tell you again, your mommy and daddy love each other so much. I love your mommy! She is the greatest thing that has every happened to me. She is the most beautiful girl to me. And over the past 9 months I have watched her become the mother I've always dreamed of for my children.
I hope you are just like her. I hope you have her smile. I hope you have her laugh and her sense of humor. I hope you have her sweetness. I hope you have her beauty. I never want you to feel embarrassed if someone says you look just like mommy. Because that means you're beautiful like your mommy.
I love you Courtney. SO MUCH! Happy Birthday my sweet girl!
