I love this little girl SO MUCH. She is the textbook definition of a beautiful person. There is a bit in Pride and Prejudice where the characters are having a conversation about what it means to be an "accomplished" young lady...
Caroline says "A woman must have a thorough knowledge of music, singing, drawing, dancing, and the modern languages, to deserve the word; and besides all this, she must possess a certain something in her air and manner of walking, the tone of her voice, her address and expressions, or the word will be but half deserved."
Mr. Darcy adds ""All this she must possess, and to all this she must yet add something more substantial, in the improvement of her mind by extensive reading."
To which Elizabeth replies, " "I am no longer surprised at your knowing only six accomplished women. I rather wonder now at your knowing any."
Miss Lindsey McCall is an accomplished young lady. She is beautiful - just look at her! She is the smartest of the Christensen siblings (and we ain't a dumb group, so that is saying something) - scholarships all over the place, She is a sports queen, she can sing, she can write, she is a social butterfly. She is confident and comfortable in her own skin. She has her own ideas and opinions. She is a thinker. She is also kind, compassionate, and she is the classiest person under twenty years of age that I know of.
I am over the moon excited for her to move her fanny down here for school so we can once again live in the same city. I am a lucky girl to be a part of such a great family. I love them.
