Today is a great day.
It's Mother's Day! And God has blessed me with a great Mom.
I just graduated from college yesterday and had one of the best days in a long time! My parents, in-laws, both sets of grandparents, and Stephanie and Matt came up to celebrate with me. We had an awesome time of fellowship and I am so lucky to still have all of my grandparents! How often do you hear of all 4 grandparents attending their grandchild's wedding and college graduation? Not often!! What a blessing that I can't describe.
One of the people I appreciate the most though is my mom.
So Mom, if you are reading this, I am sorry for always being a brat growing up (I was the teenager that yelled, "I hate you!" every other day) and I understand you more and more each year as I grow older.
You've always supported me and encouraged me in everything I do, and I have taken that for granted. I have never not been able to count on you and dad and that is such an amazing comfort, so thank you.
My mom has also set a great example of how to be an awesome wife. Without her consistent support and display of love toward Dad, I would not be so confident in my own marriage. She has shown me that her relationship with the Lord is more important than hers and Dad's and that is how God designed marriage to be. I realize that I am so blessed to have found someone who I can live with, laugh with, and call my best friend. I hope to enjoy life together with Joseph as long and as much as my mom and dad have.
ANYWAYS... love you Mom!
Here are some pictures from yesterday!
