grace of god.

gracegarrett[dvornik]

the story: technically, i've known grace since i was a fetus. our families lived together in washington, d.c., (before grace and i were born) and have been very close ever since. although we've never lived in the same city, our families vacationed or visited each other often, so we grew up together, in a way. i am blessed enough to be reunited with grace at samford this year.

grace, the vibrancy of your hair has nothing on the vibrancy of your soul. you are as bright as they come -- your eclectic wardrobe, madly creative vibe, adventurous spirit, luscious locks, dry sense of humor, acting abilities, and athleticism AMAZE me. you truly pursue the things you love, and that drive is immensely inspiring. i can't wait to see what you will accomplish.  you and your wondrous family are so near to my heart. i'm proud to share your middle name, gracie. keep exploring, super girl.

you are [delightful].
