Happy Birthday Mom!


Well today is my mother's birthday! Happy Birthday Mom!!! This picture was taken Saturday at the soccer game while she (A.K.A MiMi) was holding the 3 amigos under the umbrella!
She won't tell me how old she is, but she did say she still can't get the Tuesday 10% discount at Ross yet! Dang it!! I was ready to cash in on that!
My mom is amazing! She's giving, understanding, funny, sweet, kind, caring, and faithful to Christ. She is always willing to do something for someone else. When she became a teacher 30 years ago, I don't think she realized how many lives she would touch over the years. She's such a dedicated teacher, she's one of the good ones! We need more like her.
She also devotes her "free time" to doing prison ministry and working at the church with speciality ministries.
My dad and I always give my mom a hard time, but we both wouldn't know what to do without her. She loves us both and she loves my girls more than anything. I thank God that He gave her to me, as my mom! I'm so blessed! I pray that one day my girls will love me as much as I love her. I love you mom, Happy Birthday!
(Hey Mom if you do happen to read this, consider this your card!!! I'm not paying $2.99 for a card when I clearly do it for free here!!) ; )
