Happy Mother's Day, Mama. I am so blessed to have you as my mother and friend. You have been a rock for me for 22 years and I don't know what I would do without you.

kris (my sweet mother in-law), grandmothers, aunts, cousins, friends.. Happy Mother's Day. I love you all!


"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

One of my favorite memories with my mother was probably about 13 years ago. She and I took a girls trip to visit my grandmother in Wyoming. On the way home into Salt Lake we oooh-ed and awww-ed over the city lights.. while eating mini muffins.

I've always hung on to that memory as one of the best. But, I have so many more with my mother and friend. Thank you, Mom, for always being there for me.
