24 Things to Love about Emily Allred

My oldest daughter is 24 today and far, far away.
I had to post a few items about her since I love and miss her so much.
In random order.
First off she was a Great Baby who pacified herself by sucking her thumb then gave it up on her own when she turned one. Now what kid does that on her own?

Which leads to the 2nd great thing about Emily -- Fiercly independent.

3. An extremely hard worker. She's like a whirlwind when I ask her to clean up a room.

4. She is a very good Pianist and also played violin. She wanted violin lessons when she was in jr. high but I could not afford everything this talented girl wanted to learn.


5.artistic and creative.


6. great at word games
7. athletic (She even beats boys)


8. wonderful teacher
9. hiker/camper


10. Enjoys reading
11. spiritual
12. served a mission in South Korea


13. loves fish now. Who would have thought?


14. "just like a mom" That's what she used to say to Landon when he wanted mom.


15.fun loving


16. positive attitude


17. sensitive
18.good friend



19. adventurous
20. smart


21. good listener like her dad
22. loves her family
23. quiet


24. Daddy's Girl


HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY!!
I Love you so much,
Love,
Mom

  3. Too bad we didn't have any pictures of the three doors that she punched holes in. We could have added #25 - Housewrecker.

    Love you Em.
