Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Mom!

See this lady? She is MY mama!

Today is her birthday and this post is dedicated to her

and

all her

wonderfulness!

See her jazzy smile?

I get that from her.

See how she is still smokin' hot for her age?

I hope to be that smooth as I grow more mature.

Notice how she dutifully posed for me for this picture last Christmas so I could have something to scrapbook?

Just one of many examples of how she has enduring patience, endless kindness, warmth of heart, and character of steel.

She is the only mom I know that picks out her jewelry by shouting over to me:

"Will you wear this when I die?"

Hah!

She is a mom that even when you are 30+ will bake and send you cookies so that you have something to bring to your cookie exchange

(I kept them, because they are my favorite and well...I am selfish).

I can't wait to get to San Diego and wish her happy birthday in person.

Have a happy birthday Mom!

I will see you soon!
