A letter to my cousin Elizabeth

To my cousin, Miss Elizabeth Gilman, (though everyone else can read this too!)

Although I could write your grandmother and ask for you email I thought it more appropriate to state for all who can see that I greatly appreciate your words of encouragement and affirmation. I love seeing that not only are you getting on my blog but also that it brings you smiles and laughs as stated in your comments. I haven't seen you in years, I can only imagine how much older you have gotten and what joy you bring to your family! I am blessed to call you my cousin, and I hope and pray that you continue to blossom into the woman that God has created you to be.
I know that as you get into middle school and high school that things seem very confusing and sometimes you feel lost in it all; but take heart because we have ALL been through it and we DO make it out alive! ;) More importantly, we make it out knowing a little bit more about ourselves, and sometimes we even find that we actually like ourselves for who we are! Though that sometimes takes more time to establish than just the years of high school. So don't worry if you don't have it all together by the time you go to college, just ask my brother, I think he is still trying to live up to the awesomeness that is his sister!!! ;) (j/k)

To be honest I'm nervous about my girls getting older, it's a tough world out there. I just hope when you got it figured out that you can come back and give them a few pointers! As for Micah, well he's a guy, they seem to have it much easier; although he may have a difficult time getting married because I'm not sure ANY girl will be good enough for my baby! ;) I think we have a few years to worry about that though~

So to my sweet cousin, take care love and remember to be yourself unashamedly!

Miss you and Love you too,
Paige

I actually don't have a email, but I will be getting one soon. It has been atleast 4 years since we saw eachother last. At the family reunion, when Haylee was just a little baby. I enjoy checking your blog to see the kids since I don't see them face to face. I have grown alot since you saw me last. I'll give a little descriptiion of what i look like. I'm 12 years old and will be 13 Feburary 16th. I'll be starting 7th grade August 18th. I have long blonde hair and plan to grow it out to my hips and donate it in memory of my mom. I'm about 5"2. So that's a little summary of what I look like. I'll have Grandma email you a picture of what I look like. Thank you very much for the tips and gudiance I appriciate it very much! I hope to see you very soon.

Love you and miss you,
Elizabeth :) <3
