"...the influence of righteous, conscientious, persistent, daily mothering is far more lasting, far more powerful, far more influential than any earthly position or institution invented by man. Righteous women have changed the course of history and will continue to do so, and their influence will spread and grow exponentially throughout the eternities." Julie B. Beck
Finding just the right quote to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Amy's birth was challenging but I think this one fits her quite well.
At 25 Amy has done most of the regular things most kids do:
attend school, take piano lessons, had a few pets, played that flute, taken gymnastics lessons (and competed too), cheer leading, high school color guard, graduated from college with a degree in teaching, taught kindergarten for one year.
Amy has done some extraordinary things too:
worked at an orphanage in Haiti, spent two semesters working at an orphanage in Romania, married an incredible young man in the temple, given birth to a beautiful daughter (and is expecting another baby).
While the last few things may seem ordinary Amy understands the influence one good woman can have and cares for her family in an extraordinary way.
It's hard to believe that 25 years ago I held my second baby in my arms and today Amy is a few months from doing the same thing.
(cue "Circle of life" music while I grab a tissue)
Sorry for the cheese but I can't help it.
I stand in awe as I watch her.
Amy, you are amazing.
I am so blessed to be your mom.
I hope your day is totally awesome!
I love you!
PS Amy also takes fabulous pictures, check out her giveaway here.
I promise that the next post will not be so gooey

Thanks Mom for having me. You are an amazing woman and I hope you realize that you have had a HUGE influence on who I am today.
I second all that is said in this post! Thanks Amy for who you are and how you live your life!!
Great post about a great person! Livi has been saying "Amy, Robbie, and Grammy" a lot today. I think she misses all of you.
