Happy Birthday Mom..

Making the decision to have a child is momentous..
It is to decide forever to have your heart go
walking outside your body"

Born to be a mom

My mom turned one year older and one year sexier on the 4th. Is there really any way we can put into words the we feel about our mothers? My mom is simply the most amazing woman that ever lived. I've never seen a more devoted mom or grandma. My moms three girls were and are her whole life. You never really understand the magnitude of what your mom did for you until you have your very own kids. In the first new days of being a new mom I remember looking at my little baby and thinking, "I can't believe this is the way my mom feels about me too".
My mom is truly her own breed! She's full of so many crazy quirks. It's all just part of her undeniable charm. Some of my favorite "momisms" from her are: "Only boring people get bored" and "Being pissed off is a lot better than being pissed on". My sisters and I often talk about what a legacy we have to live up to in order to be even half the mother she was to us. Everyone she's ever met falls in love with her. Maybe it's the Bourne Butt! I love your ever lovin guts mom.
