Birthday AMANDA!
if I had one wish it would be a happy happy birthday to YOU from ME!
There are multiple aspects of Amanda......
I think back to September 11, 1982. It was a Saturday and a beautiful fall day. Our family had spent a fun filled day together and it was coming to a close when Amanda decided to came into our world and changed our lives as a family FOREVER!!
James & Scott LOVED her and were her protectors...
Melissa and Marnie were good big sisters who doted over her and nurtured her!
She was "baca jana" to her brothers when she was little because that was her imaginary friend!
Her older brothers were not always kind and I remember when Scott told her that Baca Jana" DIED! Of course she was upset but she soon leaned how much her brothers & sisters did love her.
Amanda LOVED life and when she was at home we knew how much she loved it and how much she LOVED her family! She would express her opinions and let us know when she needed something or when she thought her brothers were playing too much X-box! There was an empty corner in our home and world when Amanda left for Ball State but we soon leaned that it was not that far away and we could still visit with one another.
It was fun watching her turn into a beautiful woman and determined to make her mark in the world.

THANKS MOM!
Barb...a beautiful post for a beautiful woman. I am grateful that you brought Amanda into this world, so that Ben could bring her into our lives. She is a shining example to our family, and has taught us much. She puts up with the "In Laws" and loves us no matter what.
I can't imagine the family without her.
