Happy Birthday Amy!!

Happy Birthday to my dear friend Amelia Gormley! :)

This is one of the few pictures in which we both appear....she is on the row behind me, beside the boy with the red hair. Yall hopefully can figure out which is me :)

We met briefly in DC, signing each others Bee Keepers, and I wrote my email address in hers. Amy wrote a book over the summer called Verbomania: Experiencing the National Spelling Bee. I had replied to one of her emails about the book, and a wonderful friendship sprang (?) up from there! God works in mysterious ways :) We've become e-pals (pen pals through email) and have exchanged many long emails, fast becoming good friends. She's a wonderful, encouraging Christian friend and I thank God for placing her in my life.

One more picture! :) Friday, before the Awards Banquet, the homeschoolers took a picture together. Amy is the tall one, three from the left, in the yellow dress. I'm in the white, right-center.
