Sixteen. 🥹
If you know Maeli, you know she’s one of the funnest people around. She loves to laugh, enjoys teasing people just a little too much, and is always up for a good time.
A few things that make her…well, her:
Dance is her happy place and she somehow makes learning new choreography look easy.
Noah Kahan is always on repeat, but every now and then an old song from our high school days sneaks onto her playlist - and I secretly love it.
She avoids physical contact at all costs - unless she’s the one making someone else uncomfortable, then she’s fully committed. 😂
She’s a certified drink connoisseur. Swig, Circle K, Starbucks, Alani…if it comes in a cup or can, she’s all in.
Boys, consider this your public service announcement: don’t text too much, don’t overdo the emojis, and absolutely do not use pet names. You’ve been warned.
More than anything, Maeli loves her friends. She’s been blessed with an incredible group of people who genuinely enjoy doing life together, and it’s been so special watching those friendships grow over the years.
This next year is shaping up to be a busy one. Between working at the Milkshake Factory, helping teach dance classes, and balancing school and church responsibilities, she continues to prove just how hardworking she is. She loves learning new things and never shies away from putting in the effort.
One thing that still amazes us is her writing. She can sit down and write a story or poem in just a few minutes that leaves all of us wondering how someone her age has that kind of talent.
She’s funny, outgoing, fiercely independent, makes friends wherever she goes, and somehow keeps surprising us with the incredible person she’s becoming.
Happy Sweet 16, Maeli Grace. We love you baby girl!
