I was going through the photos on my phone, looking for a good one of my mom to put up here for this birthday post, and I just couldn't choose because there's no way to capture who she is in just one photo. For example: There was one where she was holding up a quilt she had made for a grandchild for Christmas (she made a quilt for every grandchild that year). There was one of us together after completing a 5K in Provo on the Fourth of July. There was one of her on Christmas Day, sitting on the couch unwrapping a gift (Little Women special edition book from Joe). There was one of her laughing at the head of a table covered in pies on Thanksgiving. There was one of her with the Empire State Building in the background, on our family trip to New York and cruise along New England. There were a LOT of her holding grandchildren. There was one of her on her 59th birthday, when her glasses fell on the cake when she blew the candles out. (haha!) There was one of her freezing in the car on a cold night when we went to pick out a Christmas tree. There was a picture of her and our family cat, Smokey. There was a picture of her frantically texting someone (probably during her Relief Society Pres days). There was a picture of her with the missionaries (who she had over for dinner at least once a month). There was a picture of her dancing with my brother at his wedding to "There Were Bells On The Hill". There was a picture of the cookies she made and brought to the airport for me when she and my dad picked me up for Christmas break. There was a picture of her taking a nap on the couch in front of the Christmas Tree (a favorite hobby we have in common). There was a picture of her with a gingerbread house (a tradition she carries on every year). There was a picture of her and my dad dropping me off in Rexburg for school. There was a picture of her trying on her Mother of the Bride dress for my wedding. There was a picture of her and my dad when they visited Ben and me at our house in Idaho Falls. I guess my point is that she is a wonderful woman, who lives a wonderful life. And I love her so much.
Happy Birthday, Mom! You are my hero, my biggest role model, my best friend, and I can only aspire to one day be as good at making rolls as you! ;)
