Happy Mother's Day!

10 things I LOVE about my Mom:

10. She is thoughtful. She never forgets to call if you've had a test, a doctor's appointment, or a bad day.
9. She always calls to check on my dogs. Usually several times a day, if they are sick or hurt. She adores them, which means so much to me.
8. She has a great sense of style. I have borrowed her shoes and jewelry my whole life. She can pull any outfit together and is the best shopping buddy you could ask for.
7. She is silly and has a great sense of humor. She calls our family a fam-dam and me, bozybon.
6. She makes everything she touches beautiful. There is no one who is more creative or more talented when it comes to creating anything or decorating. She has impeccable taste.
5. She loves my dad and sets a great example for me by taking the time with him she needs and deserves. She is quick to plan a date for them and tells us how much she loves him.
4. She makes every little event special. Holiday dinners at her house are a treat, because they usually include costumes and prizes! She cooks for her family of 10 every single Sunday.
3. She believes that family is the most important thing we have. She always encouraged us to support each other, spend time with each other and genuinely love each other. It is because of that, that I consider my 4 brothers, 4 of my very best friends. She made us love to spend time together, which we always have. Even when my parents go out of town, the kids still get together by ourselves to eat and hang out, because my Mom has created that kind of closeness in our family.
2. She is everyones friend. She makes everyone feel loved, appreciated and special. You don't have to know her for more than 5 minutes to feel loved by her.
1. She is my very best friend in the world and has made my life so wonderful. Growing up, I always wished I had a sister, but I soon realized that my Mom was all I needed. She means everything to me and I love her!

10 things I LOVE about my Mother-in-law:

10. She is selfless and she has a giving heart. She spends nearly all of her time serving those around her. She is also willing to sacrifice time with her sweet husband if he needs to be helping one of his sons or brothers.
9. She is a hard worker and sets a great example for me that way. You never hear her complain, she just gets the job done.
8. She is such a loving and devoted Grandma who can't get enough of her cute grandbabby. It is so fun to watch the two of them together!
7. She raised an honest and kind son, that I now get to spend the rest of my life with!
6. She is a talented cook and always makes us delicious meals! She has taught me lots about cooking already!
5. She is a great person to talk to or get advice from. Both Greg and I value her advice very much.
4. She was the only woman in a house full of men for many many years...That says a lot about her!
3. She is devoted to her family and takes care of the people she loves. She will bend over backwards for anyone and is such a great mother.
2. She is quick to giggle and laugh and is light-hearted and sweet.
1. She welcomed me into her family with open arms and I love her!

Happy Mother's Day to both of you!

I LOVE YOU!
