this lady.

that is my mother.

she is simply the best.

i consider myself truly blessed to have been graced with the mother that i do have.

she has given me:

endless memories, love, care, concern, open ears, delicious meals,

suprise birthday parties, encouragement to call that guy i married,

a fabulous sense of style,

the umph and gall to consider culinary school,

so many wonderful creative moments rearranging my home,

fabulous brainstorming,

the strength to be a mother even when im sure i dont know what im doing,

random suprise presents,

grace and beauty to admire,

the 'go ahead' its ok to cry so many times,

finally a sister,

the best advice,

my faith,

and the list could go on and on.

lets just say

CHEERS

thank you mom,

and a happy mother's day

to all of you mothers out there!

may your day be ever so relaxing, delicious, and wonderful.
