Mama's Day!

Photobucket

Reasons I love my mama:

* She's selfless. I have to beg her to put herself first for once. I have yet to see it happen.
* Nothing rattles her. She's always been this way. I am quite opposite. If I had a dime for every time I heard her say, "Krysta, in the grand scheme of life, this is a blink of an eye." ...
* She sends me cookies and brownies from Cheryl and Co. for every holiday...she knows they're my favorite and that I have to hide them from Brady.
* She's strong in her faith just as my father was. She will never waiver from it and I respect her so much for it.
* She loves Starbucks just as much...ummm...maybe even more than I do.
*...the way she talks to Sabrena like they're best girlfriends.
* She's always up for anything...as she puts it, "I'm just along for the ride!"
* Her strength. How she amazes me. I never gave her credit for how strong she is. I have seen bits of her emerge and evolve over the past nine months.
* She doesn't cook, sew, bake, or do anything crafty. And doesn't care. :)
* She is my best friend. There are no secrets.
* Even after 35 years of marriage, she was and is absolutely smitten with my father. It's a remarkable example of marriage to grow up with.

...and 1,000 other reasons. I'm a day late because we were actually in Minnesota with my mama this weekend. We had such a great time!! Can you see that her pertty little teeth are starting to come down with the help of her braces or teeth bling as I like to call it. She and Sabrena are having a bet to see who can get their braces off first. I've got five bucks on my mom. :)

Thank you for all you continually do for this family Mama, for inspiring me, for being so beautiful and amazing. I love you!

Reading these beautiful words makes me want to meet this Eighth Wonder of The World even more :)

I don't need convincing though, She created you so's perched pretty high up on that there pedestal already.

And umm, what are these cookies you speak of? Could they safely travel to Arizona and then California
