Meet my Amazing Mother

Did I ever tell you that I have the best mom ever? I'm not even joking.
I will be amazing if someday I am half the mom she is.

Here are some things I love about her:

* She is super silly and playful
* She makes up cool words like "fliberdy floob"
* She NEVER gets mad
* She makes up silly songs while she is working
* She NEVER thinks about herself
* She doesn't worry about what people think
* She was converted to the LDS faith when she was 18 and is the only member in her family
* All of her children are LDS
* She raised my three brothers and I by herself (with some help from Gramma!)
* She is incredibly patient
* She has been teaching special education for 30 years in the NMUSD
*She currently teaches adult special ed students life skills like taking the bus and having a job
* She spoiled me
* She is one of my bestest friends
* She gives you exactly the right amount of sympathy and then helps you fix the problem
* She is optimistic
* She taught me to laugh at myself
* She taught me to sew
* She gets me
* She gives good advice and knows when you don't need it
* She put up with my crazy teenage years

Another great thing about my mom is that she is uber creative. When she was in high school and college she had two dresses that she alternated between for dances. She redesigned them every time to add a little variety. Here are some pics of her in those dresses with my cute dad.







Ain't she pretty?

I remember her sewing a lot when I was younger and redecorating the house. She made me these awesome MC Hammer pants and several of my all time favorite "circle skirts". They made me feel pretty.



Don't be jealous of my Hammer pants!




I love love love you mom! I miss you. Thanks for giving me such a strong a loving foundation to build off of.
