In honor of Mothers Day I have decided to make a tribute to a few of the mothers that have changed my life and helped to contribute to the person that I am today.
The first mother is my own! She is absolutely incredible. I feel so lucky to have been raised by this woman! In the past year we have grown so much closer than ever before and now that I am an adult I have learned to appreciate her and love her far more than I did as a teenager. I just wish that I could have learned those things when I still lived with her. Last summer when I was in the hospital for days she stayed in my room, in a hard recliner every night that Devin couldn't be there just so that I was not alone. She painted my toenails, rubbed my feet, helped me shower, braided my hair, and helped me use the restroom. All of the things that you have to do for a young child, not your 21 year old! She never complained when she had to drive 2 hours each way every day to be with me. She is the best mom that I could ever imagine and I am so glad that she is mine! She is always looking for ways that she can help us out and gives great advice. She is so fun to hang out with too. If you have never played name that 80's tune with my mom, you should...she will smoke you all! She is so funny and easy to talk to. She is so wonderful and I am so incredibly thankful for her and everything that she does for me. If I can be half the woman and mom that she has been to us, my children will turn out great! I am so lucky to call her mom! I love her!
The next women are my aunts, Suzy and Kelli. These women are seriously second mothers to me! I admire them so much for the influence that they have had on my life. They have been by my side supporting me throughout my entire life. I can not remember games, dance reviews, speeches, graduations,or basically anything that they have missed in my life. I love going to my mom's and having them come over. They are so fun to talk to and I just absolutely love them! They were such a huge help with my wedding and my hospital stay! They are so awesome! I love you ladies! Thanks for everything!
There are so many other mothers that have loved and supported me that I am so thankful for!
Happy Mothers day to... Amy Johnson, Aunt Jolene, Aunt Marsha, Aunt Becky, Grandma Rudd, Grandma Knudsen, Joan, Colette, Jessie, Andrea, Heather, Heidi, Charmain, Celeste, Jenn Reese, and Jamie Reese.
I hope you all have a great Mothers Day, thanks for everything over the years!

And Happy Mothers Day to you too! You are a mother, you just haven't had the chance to raise your little boy yet! I love you so much and hope you have a beautiful Mothers Day!!!
Wow Kels, Thanks for including me in your list. I totally agree about all the other "mother's" that love and support us. That is what family is for!
Kels! I know I am leaving this on the 'Mothers Day' one...I only found it appropriate because one day we shall be mothers! Ha...but really I just wanted to say that I am glad you found my blog! Now we can be blogging friends too! And I LOVE yours, it has so many cute cute pictures!!!

You and your mom are so cute together. I so totally understand about not being really close with your mom doing teenage years. Moms are the greatest aren't they?
That is so sweet. It makes me feel like a jerk, but I'd planned to do a post for my mom and then got so busy I forgot about it. I'm glad you put one up about your mom - it was fun to read about her.
