Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day Mom!!! I've been bummed that I didn't get to be with my mom today. After all, I do have the best mother ever. Being far away was sad- I wish I could have been there to cook lunch for her. She really has always had that natural mommy ability, and me and my sisters had the best childhood. She taught us to cook, to be independent, to use our manners, and do super fun things like painting rocks. She's always been the perfect example of a Christian wife and mom, and I hope to be the same to my future family. She always put us first, and I continue to realize all the sacrifices she has made so that we can have such a great life. We're much more similar that either of us probably care to admit, but I really admire her strength and her passion for people. More than anything, my mom has a passion for God and for people in need. She has a brilliant mind and uses it to help anyone she can, whether doing medical missions in Guatemala or researching Diabetes for children at Vanderbilt. She has welcomed Brandon into our family with open arms, and I still cry when I think of the sweet things she said at our wedding about him being the son she always wanted. Mom, thanks for always being there. We love you!



I also must just say how wonderful my mother-in-law is. Ever since Brandon and I have been married, we've become very close. Besides raising the perfect son, she is such a good person to talk to. We have frequent conversations and get along so well. I just feel so lucky to get along with her. She is so friendly, sarcastic, and really nurturing. She always finds a way to show us that she'll take care of us. She's always been the perfect mom to Brandon, and she taught her great work-ethic. I love that we share such similar taste and she's great to go shopping with. I'm lucky to have such great in-laws that I know I'll never have any problems getting along with. Brandon's mom is such a funny and creative mom, and she really takes care of her family. Thanks for always being such a good mom to Brandon, and now to me. We love you!



I would talk about our sweet grandmothers, but then this would go on forever. We are truly blessed with the best family in the world, and that is largely because of our grandmothers. They've all lived such wonderful lives that glorify God, and they continue to show us their wonderful sweet spirits. Love you Granny and Memommy, Mema and Granny!!

Hope everyone had a very Happy Mother's Day!
