Mother's Day

"Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn't know you had, and dealing with fears you didn't know existed. " -Linda Wooten

Libbie Harmon brought me into the world on March 14, 1989 and I will never get to repay her for what she has done for me since that day. But on Mothers Day every year I get to tell her how much I appreciate her and everything she has done for me.  This year I gave her (my mother in-law also) the most creative thing I could thing of...

MONEY ROSES!!! What mother would love a bouquet of these? Well our mothers did. We gave Soogie hers at church and lets just say it was a hit, not only with her but with the other women in her ward. One even offered to switch her boutonniere with Soogie's flowers. I would have gotten a picture of Soogie with hers if we weren't in the church, but I got a picture of my mom.

It was a great Mother's Day. I loved the chance to tell my mom that I love her and love all the sacrifices she has made for me. I also loved the chance to tell my mother in-law that I love her and I am so grateful to her for bringing my husband into the world and raising him to be a great man.

Happy (late) Mother's Day to the moms in my life, including those who don't have children of their own yet.
