She's finally here!

Today is a very special day. Today my first niece was born, Eizabeth Grace Cash. We are going to call her Ella Grace. This day is so special to me because my sister and best friend is now a mother! For those of you who may not know my sister Ashlee you are really missing out and should go to Mesa, Arizona and meet her immediately! (See a blog post from a while back for a longer description). She is a fun-loving, outgoing, hard-working, selfless, kind hearted, godly woman that is a sister, daughter, granddaughter, niece, wife and now, Mommy! It's just one of those things that I don't even think has officially sunk in with me yet. It just doesn't seem real. It seems like just yesterday we were riding our bikes down Forrest Street and working on the doll house with Beth and baking 1,2,3,4 cookies. It seems like just yesterday I was standing beside her as her made of honor in her wedding. But today, wow! She's a mom. I can already tell you that she is going to be such a wonderful mother. Sweet Ella Grace doesn't even know how blessed she is to have Ashlee as a mom and Billy as a dad.

Sweet Ella Grace, I am so excited that you are finally here! I don't think I've even been as unproductive at work as I have been today. I've been praying all day and anxiously awaiting for your arrival and I can't wait to meet you and talk to you and love on you. I can't wait to watch you grow and become a young lady and I pray that you will learn to love the Lord like your parents do and both your families do. I can't wait to meet you for the first time in only a few more days!
