a birthday, a tag, an award, and a menu…
Whew, that’s a lot of stuff for one post huh? We’ve had a busy day ending with a birthday party. I’m posting this all late Sunday night… but tomorrow is Amanda’s 18th birthday! I can hardly believe that I am the mother of an eighteen year old! It really seriously seems like yesterday that she was a little baby, then a little girl… then a pre-teen… you get the picture. It really goes fast. If you have a little one and you think it doesn’t go fast, let me tell you here and now it does! You will blink and be singing happy birthday to your eighteen year old child.
Amanda has been a relatively easy child to raise. She has a very sweet spirit and is quiet in nature. She is an incredibly hard worker in school and has made us so proud so many times… getting the golden falcon for having all “A’s” throughout junior high… being in the State and National Honor Societies… Having the highest gpa… making over 30 points in a single basketball game and winning MVP of the tournament… so many things she has done in her life to make us proud. She has a silly sense of humor that you only see if you know her well enough for her to show it to you.
Happy Birthday to Amanda. I love you!

Crystal tagged me for my five favorite things!
- family! Immediate to extended… they are my favorite peeps.
- friends! I have the best friends. I’m a blessed girl!
- church! We have an awesome church.
- blogging! I love to blog and love my bloggy friends (I’m meeting another IRL Monday!)
- sleep! My nap was cut short today to get ready for the party tonight… but it sure was nice!
I won’t mention purses or sonic ice… long lunches talking or praying at bedtime with Matt… shopping trips with my mom or snuggling with Izzy. Well, I guess I mentioned it all… but I just have so many favorite things. Thanks for the tag Crystal. I’ll tag anyone who wants to list their five favorite things!

One of my oldest bloggy friends (Sheryl) gave me the sharing the love blogging award. Thanks Sheryl!
I’ll pass it on to Amanda since it’s her birthday and all… and to my other birthday friends… Jenny (July 30), Marcia (Aug. 6)! I pass it to you too if your birthday is this month or in August! Happy Birthday!

Last but not least… menu time!
Monday is Amanda’s actual birthday, but she’s going out to eat dinner with Lorenzo and seeing Mama Mia… so we’ll just have a normal meal here. Most likely quesadillas. With grilled chicken and guacamole.
Tuesday grilled burgers and broccoli cauliflower salad
Wednesday we’ll have spaghetti & garlic bread.
Thursday grilled chicken and baked potatoes…
Friday Matt has requested gyros. yuck. but okay.
OH. One more thing. Guess what I got today?
Happy Monday!
