~ J. Adam Munson ~

Today, it’s Adam’s turn to be in the spot light on my blog. Today is his 27th Birthday!! Wow! When did that happen? I still remember when he was born… what a wonderful and sweet natured baby! I also remember when he was about 15 and had a cold and felt terrible. He comes into my room (I was sitting on my bed working on a cross stitch project) and he lays down next to me and puts his head on my shoulder and says “Mommy, I don’t feel good”. What a great feeling to know that even as your children are growing up they still have times when they need their mother.

When Adam was born I wanted to name him Adam Jeffrey. However, his dad thought it would be cool to name him Jeffrey Adam that way his signature is “J. Adam Munson”. I didn’t mind as long as I got to call him Adam. : ) He fits his name quite well… he carves his own way through life, not really walking in other’s footsteps. He is very much his own person. Even so, I see many similarities to both of his parents. He is a good blend of both of us.

He has many hobbies… brewing beer & gardening – he has an awesome indoor garden, & reading are just a few of them. He also throws a great party!! The last time that I was in the Seattle area he had a big BBQ party. The food was awesome, they did a BBQ cook off and we all got to sample everything & vote on our favorites. I love the fact that he is very responsible when it comes to party time. He will not allow his friends to drink and drive… since it was August and the weather was perfect (surprising in Seattle), he had tents set up around the yard, in case people needed to crash and sleep it off before driving home.

Adam is very concientious of our environment. He rides the bus almost everywhere he goes (unless his sister is going and then they carpool together). Sometimes when I am talking to him I realize that he is one of those “Scary Smart” people!! Hehehe He is very intelligent and loves to debate with his dad – actually, I think that they both enjoy the debates. : ) While Adam might be considered to be very opinionated, he always looks at the situation from all the angles before choosing his opinion.

The best thing about Adam is his love for his family. He can always be counted on to lend a shoulder to cry on, or to listen to a little venting session!! His sister and brother both know that they can always count on Adam to be there for them. I know that even though I live in Arizona, if I really need to talk I can call Adam. He is also close to dad… I am so glad that my kids have a good relationship with their dad, he cares about them a lot.

Adam – I love you a lot and miss you everyday. Have a very Happy Birthday.
