{SPECIAL}

Believe it or not this is my 400th post!!!

I wanted to celebrate it by recognizing someone who is very special to me...

My MOTHER!!!
and guess what? Today is her birthday...

So... we made a little sing-song video for her... and I just want to share a few things with all of you.

Today she is 61... but looks 50.
She is such a LOVING person...
A GREAT wife to my dad (they celebrate 40 years this year!)
The BEST mother a girl could ask for...
I am SO proud of her & all she accomplishes.
She inspires me to believe in myself...
She can be as tough as nails... especially when it is work related!
SUPER AMAZING grandmother to 8 cute grandkids!
She is super thoughtful sending cards, care packages etc.
She treats my friends like they were her own kids.
She is sensitive & cries easily (I hated this as a child... and now I do the same thing!)
She sacrifices herself for others... helping whatever way she can.
She has an amazing laugh that makes me giggle.
She is the one who can make it feel better when I am super sick.
I have watched her for years... and she amazes me with her business sense... her ability to deal with tough situations and hold her head high....

When I grow up... I want to be like her.

I LOVE you mom... I wish we could have been together today... and I can't wait until you come back home to the NW, it has been too long.

And for all you friends who know my mother... give her a shout out in the comment section... she would love it!
