Dear my sweet little nephew,
Knowing I'm about to be an aunt is overwhelmingly wonderful. People always say you will never understand how much a parent loves their child until you have a baby yourself. Well although I'm not the one having a baby, I'm getting a glimpse of that feeling because of the incredible amount of love I feel for you already. I've watched my mom spoil her nieces and nephews and I've developed great relationships with my own aunts and uncles and I can't tell you enough how excited I am to have that bonding experience with you.
I do really wish your parents still lived in Nashville. Sometimes I tear up a little thinking about how much I miss them and how sad I am to not be watching you grow up every week in person. But thankfully I will see lots of pictures and we will Skype and Facetime as much as possible. But by the time you can read this you may not know what Skype and Facetime are because technology moves so fast it's hard to imagine what it will be like when you're older. I have a feeling you are going to be so smart.
I keep brainstorming about the cute little outfits I want to put you in and the bow-ties I want to make you and I'm trying to think of other things I could make since my specialty is aprons and ruffles, but I don't think you would appreciate it very much if I put you in ruffles. We'll save that for your sister.
Well since you're going to have lots of letters to read, i'll try to keep this fairly short. I am three weeks away from graduating college and should really be writing my very last paper that is due tomorrow but you are WAY more important :) I love you so so much little man. I can't wait to watch you grow and walk out the destiny God has for you. Praying for you and sending lots of snuggly hugs and kisses.
Love your Aunt Shelly
(or Aunt Michelle or whatever your precious little heart desires to call me... I was trying to think of a cute drink name to go with the Pop and Sweet Tea theme your grandparents (my parents) are hoping to be called, but Aunt Lemonade or Aunt Latte just don't sound right do they :) ... i can hear you giggling just thinking about it)
