ATTENTION EVERYONE! 

today is a very special day. and what might that be, you ask? 

well, i will tell you. today is my mother's birthday. i know a lot of girls say "my mom is my best friend" but, you have no idea. i really do have a cool mom. i have ALWAYS been able to talk to her about anything and everything. boys, clothes, boys, tv shows, food and also, did i mention boys? she has put up with so much from me and my siblings and i think she did a pretty good job at raising us up right. i know that i feel so blessed to have been raised by her. especially now, living so far away from her... (okay. i just started crying because i love my mom so much and i can't even think of the right words to say) i really appreciate everything she has ever done for me and for our family. she is such a hard worker and she has such an amazing testimony and is the most incredible example to me. i hope i can grow up to be at least half the person that she is.

happy birthday to my beautiful mother!!

love you!!
