Happy Birthday Mom!!!

Yesterday was my mothers 50th birthday. I can't believe that she is 50 since she looks nothing like it. I hope to look that good when I am her age. I love her so much and hope and pray to be just like her. She is a great example of a strong christian women- who stands up for God's word no matter what- and lets people know what they are doing wrong in a very loving but stern way. She is a great wife to my dad which will be 30 years this April. And of course lets not forget how wonderful of a mother she is to me and my 2 sisters, and my brother. She quit her job when she had me and stayed home to raise all 4 of us- which I appreciate so much. she was always there for us when we needed her, brought us our lunch or homework to school when we forgot it, drove us to all of our softball, baseball practices and games. Which after doing Chase's first year of soccer this year and waiting at his practices I now realize isn't any fun at all. So thank you mom for doing that. Always had dinner on the table for us when my dad came home from work, clean clothes to always wear, rooms and house was always spotless- which I still work on, helped us out with our homework, did projects with us, and so on. And I am most thankful for her instilling in us daily God's word and for spanking us especially me when we needed it. If it wasn't for her discipline I don't know where any of us would be. If I can be half of the wife and mom that she is I will be OK. So a very happy birthday to you mom- I love you so much and hope that there are more wonderful, and happy years to come. Lord willing. So to my mom I call you Blessed from Proverbs 31. b/c you really are the Virtuous women that I strive to be.
