What I'm thankful for: October 19

Today I'm thankful for...

Mom!

Mom and I before the Turkey Trot in 2009 or 2010

Today is my mom's birthday! Unfortunately, she's been down with the Tennessee sinus funk all week, so she doesn't even really get to celebrate today. My mom is the best (I know, I know, everyone says their mom is the best), and I'm not even saying that because we're the same person! She would do anything in the world for her kids and husband, and she has had to make a lot of sacrifices in her life in order to make sure that my brother and I have a happy life. She's definitely inspired me throughout my life, and even though I don't always show it, I love and appreciate everything she's done for me! Happy birthday, ma! I love you!

Also, happy "3rd birthday" to my dad who had heart surgery 3 years ago today. I'm definitely grateful that God took care of him (and us) during that time!
