Some of my favorite things...

...about my mom

Her Wisdom
Anyone who has ever talked to me about a situation or needed advice has heard me say, "Like my mom always says..."

Her Passion/ Talent
Although my mom is a talented artist, that is not her passion. Her passion goes far beyond creating art of her own. Her passion is sharing art with the hundreds of students that have walked through her classroom door. Not only does she go above and beyond to teach her students the beauty of art, she is also a mentor and speaks words of love and kindness into their lives.

Her Love
I have watched her love my dad over the years in a way that is hard to find. I can not even begin to express how grateful I am for the example of love that their relationship is to me. It is gift that so many children never have the opportunity to receive.

Her Friendship
My mother is so much more to me then a mother. She is my best friend. We can sit and talk for hours about love and life. She is the first person I go to when I need advice. She loves me no matter how many times I disappoint and sometimes we can start laughing so hard that we cry.

Her Example
The way she lives her life and her love for God and others has taught me more then words or instruction ever could. I know that one day I will be a better wife, mother and woman of God because of the example she has been to me.

Happy Mother's Day to my biggest fan and the one who taught me everything I know.
