Happy Mother's Day!

Well, more and more often lately I find myself wandering over to read blogs as opposed to facebook (who would have thought that day would ever come?!) and I have wanted one for a while but, I’ll be honest; I have never really felt like I had anything interesting to talk about, haha! But well, I have a lot of stuff coming up so I decided I’ll give this a try and start one now, and I figured hey, what better day to start than on Mother’s Day, a day honoring my Mommy, the woman I admire and respect more than anyone else in the world and the incredible person who gave me life!

(After my high school Graduation)

This is my first Mother’s Day away from my Mommy, and I would have loved to go home for the weekend, but unfortunately we started finals (yuck) last Thursday and I will not be finished until Wednesday so I’m here studying my little heart out in hopes of finishing out my Freshman year of college strong (it is crazy how fast this past year has gone! But I’ll write about that once I am all moved out)

Today I wanted to write about my fantastic Mommy, she has always been someone that I am the complete opposite of, yet, somehow exactly like… and being more and more like her everyday.

My mother is the most beautiful woman in the world, inside and out. She would drop absolutely anything to care for her family and friends, and as the first born I’ve been able to watch what my Mommy does to teach Jen and John (my siblings) knowing how much of an impact that exact lesson had on my life. My Momma has always been my #1 protector, she would never let ANYTHING happen to Jen, John and I and I love her so much for that. She is someone I could laugh with for hours and talk about anything that came up, and someone who always knew when I was sad and needed to talk. A shopping partner who has taught me the love of finding great deals haha! She always let the 3 of us do whatever we wanted (within reason of course) and I can’t remember a time in my whole life that I was ever told “No, you can’t do that” If there was something that seemed like it would have a positive outcome for it, or we would learn something valuable from it, my parents would make it happen. My Mother has been the perfect example of what a phenomenal Wife is. She is the kind of Wife and Mother I aspire to someday be like, every night without fail there would be a delicious, hot, home cooked meal on the table, and everything would somehow manage to get completely cleaned and put away by the end of the evening (with kids help of course;))
She has been the most caring, loving Mommy in the entire world and lessons she has taught me are ones that have shaped me into the person I have become, and continue to grow into. I am my Mother’s daughter and I could not be more proud of that, without her love and her support I don’t think I’d be half of the person that I am today.

So, THANK YOU MOMMY FOR BEING THE MOST INCREDIBLE, BEAUTIFUL, AND LOVING MOMMY IN THE WORLD! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!! I CAN’T WAIT TO COME HOME AND BE WITH THE FAMILY AGAIN FOR THE SUMMER!!
