Favorite things to do: Swim, film videos on Insta, kiss my Bestes friend #nogrowlingcanstopme, have quality time with my friends, Christmas lights and binging my favorite tv shows make me squealing-level excited, Young Life and Bible study with the girls.

Favorite Foods: Popcorn, chocolate graham crackers, grilled cheese, tacos, BLT's, chili cheese tots from Sonic,
What I want to be when I grow up: A wife. Maybe a Missionary.

Things I did while I was 14: Went to the Daddy/Daughter Cake decorating night at RBC (made a ukulele), went to the Holocaust Museum with Megan and my Mom, finished 8th grade well with lots of work virtually because of COVID, became penpals with people, got Instagram, learned how to play the guitar, started the Christy Miller series, got to meet the Earl's Fam virtually (and cried), rode on the W&OD trail with Allie by ourselves to downtown Leesburg, went to Hannah's bridal shower, threw a Puppy Shower for Elsie, had my first Camp out sleepover in Carol's backyard, walked Grandad down the aisle at Hannah's wedding, went to Deep Creek with my cousins, we glamped in PA, visited Penn's Cave, Young Master's swimming, got to attend my first Young Life events in Purcellville, helped move Headway into the new building, became obsessed with Squishmallows, watched Avengers series in timeline order, get to teach in Headway Kids, got to do First Fruits with Alexis, my first babysitting job, had my first virtual concert at HHS (shoutout to Mr. Krimmel), had to quarantine for a possible COVID exposure, had my first COVID test (negative), made the HHS Swim Team, got Doc Martens.
Why Mom loves me: Because you are so much fun to be around, always up for anything, help out whoever needs it, work really hard, encourage others and love Jesus!!! We are thankful that you are so passionate about kids knowing Jesus and growing in their relationship with Him, that you love to swim and enjoy it every time, that you work hard at school (and have your camera on and participate), that you love your friends well and have been creative during COVID on how you hang out with them), that you love anything rainbow and unicorn, that you love Beausef and take him on 30 min walks for your PE workout, that you are a cautious Enneagram 6, that you cheer on everyone well and are thankful for little things! We love you Bugga and are so thankful that you completed our family!!!
