Today is the birthday of Marz, Marzipan, Bob, Mars Bars, Hot TaMarley, Marsupial, etc. I'm sure there are more, and I just can't think about them. She is the big 14. She is most looking forward to riding in the front seat. It's funny what these kids think of. I remember when K'lyn was looking forward to calling one of those numbers that said you had to be 18 years old to call. The problem with Marz riding shotgun is that she will now have to fight her older brother for it, so I worry about her safety. I have fond memories of fighting Seester for the front seat. I'm sure my mom does too. NOT
Here are some things you may or may not know about Marz. First, some pics throughout time.
Ahem, apparently we're missing one since she's seen it in the theater five times now. Six as of next Sunday when we finally take our priest to see it. It's been a feat trying to get him there all summer. You could say that Marz liked this movie. Maybe.
In random order, let me tell you about Marz.
This is how she can normally be found, cuddled up reading a book. She likes her books like she likes her movies, and reads them again and again.
Momma to Boone. She organized a whole birthday party for him this year and invited the neighbors. She's better friends with them than I am. :)
If she doesn't have her nose in a book, she can be found stealing my phone and taking selfies with her partner in crime, Mouse.
She tried theater camp this summer and is HOOKED. She wants to watch and listen to all things Broadway. For her movie tonight, she has requested Newsies. Someone has been bit by the drama bug (the good one).
I once complained that I needed to hire a personal assistant and Marz volunteered. She's great! She remembers things we need from the store, why we're at the store, why I walked into a room, etc. She's a mini me, so she can read my mind well.
There's an age gap in the school system from where we moved from to where we moved to. Here she should be a freshman in high school already. Since we homeschool, she's taking on more classes to go into her sophomore year next year. We'll see if she makes it! ;)
We got her an actual haircut from a place where they charge more than $10 a haircut. She looks so old in this pic. She normally just wears her hair back in a ponytail, but I love it when she just lets it down.
Happy birthday to my right hand gal who knows no strangers. Some of the friends I have are my friends because they were Marley's friends first. Seriously. She can talk to anyone and even emails teachers that have become friends. I don't even email these people. She's a bright, joyful young lady, and I'm so glad to be walking this life with her. Happy birthday, Hot TaMarley! Thanks for getting me back to blogging. I love you so much!
