1. Cambria Joy Lewis. Cami just called me sang a lovely rendition of "Happy Birthday" and then asked what shoe size I was, because she's getting me flip-flops for me. She then replied, "six and a half? Ok, bye!" and hung up. She makes me smile. I love her for her giggles during "make 'em laugh" in Singing in the Rain, her crinkled nose when she smiles. Her angelic nature, making up dances with her. Kissing her on the cheek when she's sleeping. When she randomly looks at me and says, "Katrina, I love you."
2. Natalie Rose Lewis. This girl is on fire. Forget Katniss, she's the one you want to be afraid of. She's a powerhouse on the soccer field and has the brains and looks to go with it. She's seriously the whole package. She's also extremely sweet and is an exceptional listener. I love her work ethic, determination, sensitivity to the spirit and her beautiful blue eyes.
3. Garrett John Lewis. G-man. Love his silly texts, the example he is to his friends and his integrity. What an incredible friend. I love talking to my brother, I love looking up to him (not only physically but spiritually as well). He is a lady killer. Really though, he has the best hair in the world and a smile that will make you melt. Want to know the best part about him? He lives his testimony.
4. Anna Elizabeth Lewis. Where do I even begin? She is exceptionally beautiful. A patient and calming person who knows how to make me feel happy. I love singing/playing the piano with her. I love how she is such an incredible friend. She sets an amazing example for those around her, including me. She's a born leader and leads with love, compassion, patience and understanding. Talk about a babe.
5. Celeste Marguerite Lewis. If I can be half the woman my mother is, I know I will have succeeded. Our chiropractor told me the other day, "if your mother doesn't go straight to heaven, I don't know anyone who will." It's true. My mom listens, then she serves. She is compassionate like no one else. She is empathetic, she is self-less. She is silly. She is patient. Please be my mom's friend, she will change your life.
6. David Conley Lewis. I'm bias, it's true but I'm pretty sure I have the best father. The best father for me at least. He is so smart. He is such a good provider, and is such an incredible teacher. He is the best study buddy and the funniest dancer. He leads our family patiently and through his example. He is a real friend and a concerned dad. Boy, do I love him.
7. Friends. You're bored of reading this, I know. Friends are angels and mine were hand picked for me. I have so many good people to look up to.
8. My body, and the freedom I have to move, to express myself and explore other cultures. Dance.
9. BYU. SO AWESOME. ps... I have the best major.
10. Food, cooking for others, seeing people happy
11. My eyes. For the ability to read, and see the world around me
12. My ears. Listening is very important to me, so is understanding.
13. Learning
14. My hands. I'm trying hard to give them up and make them not my own.
15. My heart, my ability to feel emotions. The opportunities I have to feel what others feel. My ability to love and feel love.
16. Laughter, the best stress reliever
17. Words and the affect they have on me and others
18. Music-powerful, powerful stuff
19. Flowers, mostly peonies
20. The Gospel, the knowledge I have and the opportunities I have to live truth and share it with others.
21. My life. What an incredible 21 years it has been. I feel so blessed to be where I am at this time. There's nothing else I'd rather be doing, and no other people I'd rather surround myself with. What an incredible thing life truly is.
