Miss you bunches and bunches! I hope you are able to see God's love especially clearly on this day, as you begin your 22nd year on Earth. You are loved so much!


You share a birthday with (...and you probably already know this...)
-Al Roker-NBC

On this day in history (besides your birth, of course!) this stuff happened:



~In 1866, President Andrew Johnson formally declared the Civil War over, months after fighting had stopped.

~In 1964, President Johnson signed the Economic Opportunity Act, a nearly $1 billion anti-poverty measure.

~In 2009 (and always!), AMANDA IS LOVED SO MUCH BY HER FRIENDS!!!!!!

(It's so lovely that you've been given them both-the inward and the outward beauty!)

Happy Birthday, sweet lady!
