My Birthday Post

Since we will be up North tomorrow on my birthday... I will be making my birthday post today {while Milo naps in his new swing!}

The theme of this birthday post is not me. It is my mom. After giving birth to my son... I have a new appreciation for birthdays. Yes. It is a celebration of another year in one person's life... but its also kind of a day where our mom's deserve a thank you. So to my wonderful mother... Thank you. 25 years ago.... my mom labored for hours... that is after surviving a very hot D.C. summer while 9 months pregnant. Thank you for all that you went through to bring me into this world. Thank you for being THE BEST mom to me for the past 25 years. Thank you for always being supportive and for always telling me you love me. Thank you for shaping me into the woman I am today. And thank you for getting me that awesome pink bike for my 8th (just a guess) birthday.

Every year, month, and day... I see myself turning more and more into my mother. And I hope that over the next 25 years... I continue to grow more and more like her. Thank-You-For-My-Birth-Day Mom!

***And thank you to my Daddy too... while he didn't labor... he also had a major hand in the past 25 years of my life!

I love you Mom and Dad!
