Welcome to Earth

Welcome to Earth, Jaxon. Let me tell you a little bit about what you might expect here. Things will be good, and things will be bad. There will be things that are easy, and things that are hard. I know that sounds crazy and scary, and truthfully it kind of is, but it is also wonderful and the most amazing journey you will ever experience.

Lucky for you, you were born to what I would consider "goodly parents." Meaning: they rock. :) They are funny and fun to be with. They will love you to pieces but teach you to be the man you should become. Listen to them, they're not just playing with you when they tell you things. They are serious and you will be best off if you listen and obey. If you figure out how to do that, please write a book because you could become rich by other parents who want their kids to be as awesome as you.

Your mom is the sweetest girl in the world. She will take good care of you. Please treat her kindly and be sure to help her lots. Your dad is cool. I hope you will always remember that, even if other kids say their dads aren't. Don't worry, yours always will be. He will teach you lots of stuff, but most importantly, follow his example in how he treats your mom. He takes good care of her and you should do the same because someday, you are going to want to marry a hot babe like your mom, and you can only do that if you learn to take good care of her.

You have some fantastic cousins. Lucky for you, you have lots of boy cousins so you will have plenty of playmates. However, remember that if they decide to jump off a bridge (Justis will likely be the ringleader on this - remind him that I said "no"), doesn't mean you should jump off a bridge. Sometimes boys do crazy things that their moms just don't understand. That doesn't mean you have to follow suit. You will save your mom a lot of stress if you don't do some of those things that we moms just don't understand.

Now for the serious part... You're probably a bit freaked out about having to leave our Heavenly Father. That is quite understandable. Not to worry, He is still there, watching and listening. You just can't see Him anymore. Like I mentioned, he has given you awesome parents who know and love the gospel and will do their darndest best to take great care of you, and other extended family members (like me, your favorite aunt), who will also watch out for you and take care of you. Always remember that if you do what He asks, you will be happy. Serve Him, Love Him, Obey Him. Those are the keys.

I love you, little dude. I can't wait to meet you. Welcome to Earth.

With much love,

Your Aunt :)
