Amanda

Today I'm going to talk about Amanda as the person who has influenced my life.  Today is her birthday.  Sweet 18!  She always says that we should be grateful because our lives would be so boring without her.  She does keep things exciting!  She has changed so much since Jaxson came.  I mean, I loved her before and she was definitely in the top 3 of my favorite kids but I rely on her so much now.  She cooks dinner every day and is always asking me what I need help with.  I would definitely be lost without her.  She is trying so hard to make good choices right now.  She never expects anyone to do anything for her she is trying to be very independant.  She is very brave.  She might not be getting along with me or her sisters from time to time but she would never let anyone insult or disrespect her family.  She has strong loyalties and understands the meaning of loyalty more than most.  She is also very funny.  Did you know that she wants a monkey at her funeral handing out kleenex's to people crying?  I could go on and on about her I'm so lucky she's mine!  The difference she has made in my life is to let me know I deserve everything I want and I should strive to get it.
