Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's day to my mom, the woman I don't see nearly enough, but also one I consider one of my best friends.  I hope you know how grateful I am to call you my mother, how much I've learned from you through the years (and continue to), and how much I hope I can one day be as wonderful a mom to my kids as you are to me.  You have been so supportive through the years, even when what I wanted to do might not have been best for you (like making the decision to move here to Kansas City).  For that I (and Matt) are so grateful and consider ourselves truly blessed.  I love you, Mom, and I'm sorry I can't be there today to celebrate you in person.

 Matt and I are blessed to have two great mothers in our lives.  To my mother-in-law, Glenda, thank you so much for all you have done for both of us.  You've opened up your home to us, and taken in two grown adults, so we could make the move we felt we needed to make.  Not only that, but you have always been so open and welcoming to us.  I'm truly blessed to get to enjoy your hardest labor of love, your son.  I can see so many qualities in Matt that he took from you, and you have truly molded him into a sweet and loving husband for me to love.  Thank you for sharing him with me :).  We're so glad we'll get to see you more often and share more of our lives with you.

Happy Mother's Day to both of my mothers and to all the other mothers out there!
