Mother's Day....

{Mom & Dad <3}

...ain't got nothin' on my momma!  Because today is her birthday, and I think it's only right to share with you how amazing my mother is, especially on her birthday.

Here are some things you know about my mother:
1 -awesome.  No.  Doubt.  Doesn't even need an explanation.
2 -fun.  This lady knows how to throw a party AND make a night at home the best time you've ever had.
3 -her joy is contagious.  You could be having a terrible day and a phone call to her will make everything different.  How does she do that?  Must be the Mom Magic they give you in Top Secret Mom Training.
4 -creative.  She may not be musical, but I SWEAR that my best ideas came from mommy brainstorming sessions.  She is the most creative person I know.

Here are some things you didn't know about my mother:
1 -she sacrificed her education for ours, and wouldn't change it for anything.  She's recently graduated from college and has plans to change the world.  We're exceptionally proud.
2 -can offer unbiased advice on those really hard life questions.  Even if you're embarrassed or afraid to ask them.
3 -laughs hysterically at my (VERY) inappropriate life commentary.
4 -drags me to zumba 4x a week, where I pretend to not want to go.  ;)
5 -would rather mow the grass than take the afternoon off.
6 -passes no judgement when you're being excessively selfish, inexplicably angry, or just plain ol' hurt, and loves you all the same for all your indiscretions.



So here's to you, Mom, on this perfect day of your birth.  The world is a much better place with you in it.  I love you so much!

So friends, when you read this post, send a thought of love out to your moms for all of their Mom Magic, and leave mine a happy birthday wish!  :)
