I started recording the reasons that I was thankful for my Mom on January 1st of 2014. It began as I was watching my own children play together one day and I thought to myself, "Wow, I have my Mom to thank for this moment!" I decided that I would start a blog and present it to her for Mother's Day of this year. I'm having so much fun remembering my childhood and I hope she enjoys reading through the many, many reasons that I am so very thankful for her.

Thank you for teaching me that valuing myself was so much more important than making poor decisions when I was a teenager. I'm a much better person today because of it.

Thank you for buying me that stupid light spin thing at Disney so I could yell, "pull over" in the back seat repeatedly (and yes, I was in my 20's)...

Thank you for telling me from the start that Adam was "the one" for me. I'm glad someone talked some sense into me... ;)

Thank you for never letting me think that I couldn't do something. I have always felt like I was capable of doing anything I put my mind to.

Thank you for always being my Valentine, through heartbreak and heartache I have always known that you were there for me. You've sent me flowers and balloons on the Valentine's Days that I didn't think I would make it through. Now you continue you to send my boys sweet treats and they get so excited. Thank you for always being the best Valentine anyone could ask for Mom. <3

Thanks for sewing each and every rhinestone on my baton costumes. I know it took hours and you never complained a bit. Each one of my costumes was AMAZING!
