14th Birthday

 

Here's your annual update - 

Things you love:

1. Music - 

For your birthday, you created a diverse list of desired vinyl records, everything from Ben Folds to Taylor Swift to Wilco. Clearly you're Dad has a major influence on your music tastes! And you got Taylor Swift tickets - concert is in May, and you've been planning for months!

2. School leadership-
As class representative, you ended up planning and leading all the SGA events at school!

3. New this year-  Theater Tech - You helped with MLK fall musical and are helping with your first Theater Bug show. 

2023 Goals
1. Have fun with Mom-

We get into it - a lot more than I would like, but have had fun seeing touring brodway shows lately. Hoping we can fight less and have more fun!

2. Learn to shop-

You are a saver. I love a saver, but sometimes you need clothes and things. You are through puberty and officially adult sized - despite your objection, we wear the same size everything. Let's share! all of my stuff isn't horrible. 

Ha! These goals crack me up. My goals are the same -

We do have fun seeing theater together, but you still hate shopping. 

Love you- 

Mom

Mom fun times!

Look at us having fun!
