Angies Birthday Tribute

December 16th
Well, you know how much I like to post birthday tributes. It is Angie's birthday and she is wonderful. Since I don't go over 30 things, she should feel good about this one.
Here it goes:
1. She GRADUATED from BYU-Idaho in Elementary Education. What a great thing.
2. She is a cute mom to her kids. She tries hard to help them, and be there for them. This has been hard while she has gone to school, but boy now that she has graduated, it has been all about them.
3. She is a good friend. I watch her do incredible things for her friends, and she tries to show them she loves them.
4. She scrapbooks great, when she can. Now maybe she can get back to her little hobby.
5. She loves a clean house. The first thing she said after her last final was, "I am going to stay home for the month of December, and get my house back in shape."
6. She loves to play tennis. Here is another hobby she is looking forward to getting back into. She has gone to state twice, and now maybe she can go again.
7. She is excited about being a counsilor in the Young Womens Program at church. She loves the girls and is always trying to think up fun things for them.
8. Angie loves to shop. Most of the time it isn't for herself, but she sure loves to look around.
9. She loves to help Katelyn with her cheerleading. She even played "Suzy," with Katelyn. Very funny.
10. She loves to have her nails done. It is fun to see what pretty little nails she will have for the month.
11. She loves to play her flute. I won't say she loves to teach flute, but she sure loves to play it.
12. She has taught flute and piano for the past 5 years. She does a great job, but I think she would like to forget it, and teach school.
13. She has great BYU Idaho friends. She is missing them terribly, especially her best friend Jerrianne.
14. She enjoys going to lunch with her neighborhood friends. She loves hanging out with Laura and Julie especially.
15. She loves In and Out Burger. Laura even bought her a watch that was from In and Out burger. She loves that watch.
16. She loves to do hair. This was almost the profession she chose over teaching. She loves doing Katelyn's in so many fun ways for cheerleading.
17. She loves her "monkey man." This is her pet name for Michael. She loves snuggling up with him and reading a good book together.
18. She loves raspberries and blackberries. When we had our old house she would sneak out to the raspberry patch, and eat away. She loves Aug in Seattle, for the blackberry patches.
19. She loves to read. I have watched her more than once, get involved with a book and NOT put it down. Housework, kids, whatever goes bye bye until the book is done. Ask her about the Twilight series or Work and the Glory.
20. She loves her soap- Days of Our Lives. Boy, can she tell you all about those people. She has watched it for about 15 years now. She records it so she can watch it at night.
21. She loves her sisters. I know they think she doesn't, but she does. Now that she is not so busy they will hear from her again.
22. She loves her brother and inlaws. It is tough, because once again she hasn't been able to contact anyone except the people at BYU- Idaho.
23. She loves camping. I think she would love to be out in the wild for most of the summer. If she isn't going to girls camp, she goes to swim camp. Give Angie a trailer for that one though, she is a little more happy.
24. She use to love to perform. SHe is a good singer and helped with my singing groups for years. What a cutie on stage
25. She loves to CRUISE. Yes, talk to her about her "friends cruise," and about cruising in general, she would go anytime and anywhere if she had money.
26. She loves DISNEYLAND. Yes, she is another one of those Disney freaks. She really enjoys all those rides with her Dad.
27. She loves crab. I think ANgie would be happy if we could get crab all the time and just eat it constantly. We had a great crab feast in Oregon. Boy was that the night.
28. She loves her Dad. Yes, she is a Daddys girl too. She thinks he is the tops.
29. She is a perfectionist. Ask her about her lesson plans, homework, and anything else she is asked to do. VERY NEAT and WELL ORGANIZED.
30. She loves her HEavenly Father. She loves going to the Temple and loves BYU education week.

She is a great girl and we are so glad that she graduated and now is on her way to her new adventures. Thanks so much for being our daughter and STOP GROWING UP AND MAKING US OLD!!!!!!!
