Happy Birthday MOM!!!

Posted by Picasa Yesterday was my mom's 65th birthday and I would be a terrible and ungrateful daughter if I didn't pay tribute to her. Here are just a few things that I admire and appreciate about her.....
I think she is BEAUTIFUL inside and out!
I loved coming home as a child from school and calling out her name.
She always makes me feel important and special.
She is always the last one to the dinner table and is an amazing cook.
She is a perfectionist and spends a lot of time wanting things "just right".
She has been given some beautiful gifts and talents and is willing to share them with others.
She is a great teacher.
She has a strong testimony of the restored gospel.
She is a great example to me when it comes to service in the church. She has spent many years dealing with the responsibilities of home life alone and never complains.
She loves serving in the church and goes above and beyond in her callings:)
She loves her family!!!!
She loves to support her grandchildren in their various activities.
I couldn't have asked for a better earthly mother. I love the saying "mirror-mirror on the wall I am my mother after all" - I want to be like her in sooo many ways - I love you mom!!!!
