Dia de las Madres

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to my fantastic mama! I can't even begin to think of all the many things she has done for me without getting crocodile tears rolling down my face. I've never met anyone more compassionate and caring than my own mother. She goes above and beyond everything I ask of her, and she does it with a smile and a giggle ;-) She's amazing, and I want her to know how much I appreciate her...love you mom! You are one of my biggest blessings!

You know, when I was younger and people would say "You are acting just like your mother" I would smile politely, followed by a big dramatic eye roll and go along. As I get older, I take that as a huge compliment...ok, and every once in awhile I will still do the eye roll...

I want to also say HMD to my many other mothers. There are so many amazing women who have helped me to mold in to the woman I am becoming every day. I am grateful to my many girls (TVM, Sue B, Sue H, T-dog, Julie) who are counselors, nurses, prayer warriors, shoulders to cry, the ones who smack me back to reality, pick me up from the heap of mess I can be, and most imporatantly, know how I like my glass for margaritas ;-) I am CONFIDENT in the fact that I would not be who I am and where I am without you ladies...thanks for the being the best "mamas" a girl could ask for. I love you all too!

One more...to my sister and sister-in-law....I am SO glad that you are mamas so I have some nieces and newphews to spoil! You are both amazing mothers and you're forming your little people in to some pretty cool big people. I love to walk this journey with them...

I hope that some day God will bless me with the title of MOM and I have many great examples and divas to look to for guidance, I am abundantly blessed.
