Happy Mother's Day! I look at my life and I am truly blessed. I have one of the coolest moms in the world! And I have a wonderful mother-in-law. What more could you ask for? I'm so blessed!As I am sitting her thinking about what I could write about, I start thinking of all the wonderful memories I have with my mom. One of my favorite things I used to do with my mom involves hot chocolate, graham crackers, and Anne of Green Gables. I remember curling up on the couch with my favorite treat and watching Anne of Green Gables, feeling so special because it was just the two of us. I really loved when she would braid my hair in pig tails like Laura Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie. And we would watch The Wizard of Oz together. I would sit behind her in the rocker sometimes because the monkeys would scare me so! She would always protect me.
Now I am older and I love the friendship that we have made. I love talking to her on the way to or from school some days. I love sitting down and having a cup of coffee with her and just talking about life. (She makes the best coffee!) I love calling her and asking her for advice and I do that often. I love calling her or emailing her during the school day just to say hi or wondering if she could do me a favor. I love when she gives up her time to come into my classroom to help me with a craft or just to say hi to the kids. I love her passion for life and how she will do anything for anyone. I love everything about my mom! She means the world to me and I can't thank God enough for having her bring me into the world.
So today on Mother's Day I want to thank my mom and Nate's mom for bringing us up with the Christian beliefs and values that they both grew up with. We are both so blessed to have the two of them in our lives. I know some day I can't wait to be a mom and experience all of the greatness that our moms have. I can't wait to impact a little life in the way that I was!
Here are some pictures that I found of my mom and me growing up.
My mom and I at my Uncle Brad and Aunt Robin's wedding. I was the flower girl and was told I did a very good job. I remember just loving the peach colored dress!
Here we are at the zoo. Don't I look so stylish with my jeans and sweater? My mom looks pretty stylish too!

Staci,
Your pictures are adorable! I absolutely LOVE Anne of Green Gables and have watched every movie a zillion times! That's so cool you're a fan. The picture of you and your mom is very pretty and you two look so much alike.
P.S. You will be an awesome mommy someday!!! There's no doubt about that!
Love,
Amie
Precious mom-to-be...someday!!!!! I just loved your Mother's Day post. How wonderful. I bet it brought tears to your mom's eyes when she read it. What a tribute! And those adorable pictures. Oh. My. Word. The first thing I thought when I saw them was how much you look like your mom when she was around your age--and then how much Jaime looks like YOUR little girl picture! In fact, looking at that picture, I would swear I was looking at Jaime! Huh? Are you sure that's really you?
I wanted to thank you for the comment you made about the "letter to teachers" I put up on my blog.
I love when you stop by 'cause it always reminds me to run over and check out your blog, too.
Happy end-of-the-school-year to both you and Nate! Pool days are just around the corner! Yea!
Hugs,
Shar
Your mom is a beautiful lady. I woul
