Happy Mother's Day!!!

You all know that I love my mom. It's no big secret. Here are a few reasons why.

1- She gives all of her time, energy, and love to her family. She has and still does sacrifice much for the benefit of her family.

2- When I am annoying, sad, frustrated, mad, and/ or anxious she puts up with me.

3- She is compassionate to those around her. She seems to always find the person that is downtrodden and goes out of her way to help them.

4- She is outgoing and likes to talk to new people. Sometimes I do not like this...like when we are traveling. However, she has this knack to get people to open up to her very quickly.

5- She has never pressured me to be more but expected me to be my best.

6- She thinks the best of others.

7- She can get feisty when she needs to.

8- She likes to try new things and see new places.

9- Even though she puts up with me, she still tells me what I need to hear.

10- As her mother once said about her, "She is the sunshine of my life."



She is so beautiful.
(Mom, I thought that you might think it was funny that I added the pic of me and you and your eighties hair!)

This is one of my favorite pictures ever. My mom got tired of riding her bike so my dad carried her along with both of their bikes. So cute.
