Happy Birthday Mom!

Well blast- I've been trying on and off ALL day to upload pictures, but my computer is being weird and won't do it- so this post will have to be pictureless.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA!! (from Emily)

Today is my mother's birthday and I just wanted to post and let her and everyone else know how much I love and appreciate her. I have been blessed with a wonderful support system who encouraged me through all of my endeavors and provided me with SO many opportunities. I consider myself successful this far in life and it is in large part due to her. She helps me through my struggles (learning to be a teacher, learning to be a cook, to be an understanding wife, to be a mother, she even hopped on the first plane she could when I went into labor to be with me as Emily was born.) I could go on and on forever about how wonderful she is, but when all is said and done- Mom, I love you. Thanks for all that you do. I hope that I can be as good of a mom to Emily as you are to me. Happy Birthday.
