I am a teacher. I can't spell well or speak correctly. How did I ever become a teacher you ask? Only God. It's a long story. I am an introvert. I think more than I speak. I enjoy being alone, and at home as much as possible. I want to reflect God's love to every person God brings to me. I am married to a wonderful, caring, supportive man. He loves to help others, and is willing to listen and talk to those in need. He loves to garden, and work outside. Cookies are his favorite. We love drinking coffee and eating cookies together. I have a burden for hurting children. I wish all children everywhere, felt love, safety and security, from not only their Heavenly Father, but also from a family that cares more about the needs of their children then their own personal needs. I love looking for small glimpses of God's great love. They are all around us, every day. Have you noticed? Do you know of God's love for you?

My Sister, My Friend

 Isn't she a beauty?!!!




One of my bestest friends is turning 25!!!!!

I've known her most of my life, and have fond memories of her from the day she was born.

I remember that day very well. I was so sure I would NEVER be able to remember her name, 
it was soooooo different. 


Jolene Elizabeth Miller, what could be so hard to remember about that?  I'm happy to say not only have I remembered her name, but I also have many happy memories with this girl. 
Memories  ingrained into my mind that I will never forget. Why? Because she's my sister. 

HAPPY  25TH  BIRTHDAY  JOLENE!!!!


Soft and gentle as a kitten,  wild and fierce as a tiger. 


She does not like coffee! But that doesn't change our friendship.


She loves kids, and kids love her. 


 Purple is where it's at.... ALWAYS! 


Side by side, or miles apart
you will forever be close to my heart.



Don't ask..... :) 


"i look like a moose." You make all the bull moose go 'Whaaa Whaaa'


 


An adventurist. A risk taker, A dreamer. A drama queen. A side kick.



An amazing listener. 


She is the mirror shining back at me with a world of possibilities. 
She is my witness who sees me at my worst but loves me anyway. 
She is my partner in crime, my midnight companion, 
someone who knows when I am smiling,
 even in the dark. She is my sister. 


There is no one, I repeat NO ONE,
more fun to laugh with than her. 


Grandpa says, "She flutters around like a butterfly, doesn't she?"



We blame a lot of things on the fact that she was born in a car,
and the car (Chrysler Lebaron) had some sort of affect on her.
but two of her wouldn't be so bad, would it? 


She takes time to be with those that matter. 


Sisters don't need words. 
They have perfected their own SECRET LANGUAGE
of smiles, sniffs, sobs, gasps, winks, eyerolls.


Such a beautiful princess, daughter of the King. 



Jolene, 
           You are so special to me. I can't imagine not having you in my life. You are the only one that "gets" some things about me. You are my favorite person to watch a movie with. You listen, and offer advice, and support, and sometimes just listen. You care so much about people and their "stuff". Your heart is HUGE! And beautiful. I have watched you grow a lot the last few years. God is doing something so amazing and purposeful in you. Life is not always easy, but you have a way of looking at the brighter side... seeing the positive.... sticking it out... learning from the experiences... laughing at life...  I have learned much from you. It is obvious to me that God loves you, and His favor rests upon you. He has great and exciting things for you. I am so honored to be a part of your life, and to be able to walk this journey with you as your sister and friend.  I love you. -Amanda
