As her only daughter, we've always had a close relationship and I'm so lucky to have her as my best friend. She's also my fashion consultant. As you can see, she is extremely adept at that job.
In all seriousness, I can't say enough about my mother. But I can share some of my favorite memories of her:
- Going to all the Twilight midnight premieres with me
- Having the world's best chocolate chip cookies warm out of the oven for us every year after the first day of school
- Letting me read a new book first, even if we're both really excited for it
- Staying out in the rain with me for hours at Disney World, just so her and I could ride the Dueling Dragons ride over and over again
- Road trips together full of deep chats, sunflower seeds, and Diet Coke
- Letting us kids skip school to go see the Pokemon movie
- Throwing us the ultimate birthday parties in elementary school
- Laughing at her own jokes so hard that she cries and snorts (I happened to inherit this trait)
- Dressing up as a witch every Halloween and brewing my class a steaming "potion" (rootbeer made out of dry ice)
- Sitting with me by the lake in New Zealand and watching the New Year's fireworks
- Letting me sit on her lap...even when I'm in my 20's.
Don't believe that last one? I got proof:
So, that's my mom. She's my biggest cheerleader; she's been there for me through the good times and the bad, the tears and the laughter...and she's never once stopped believing in me. And she's taught me that in the end, the ones we love, our families, and our faith in God are the most important things.
I love you Mom! And to mothers everywhere, thank you for everything you do!
Happy Mother's Day!!!
