Mom

I am the daughter of amazing parents. I truly won the parent lottery. I am one of the chosen few that are part of a plan that strengthens families here on the earth. I am adopted. I am honored to be a part of this plan. I used to wonder why such amazing people had to adopt. I read some statistics and learned that there is a 98% of parents that adopt stay married. I also pondered and discovered that because my parents had to work so hard to get me, that they fought for their marriage. They have been married for almost 60 years!!! Heavenly Father has a plan, and he needed something to help strengthen families. I am part of that plan. 

My Mom is beautiful inside and out. She has a love for me that is far beyond what I am even capable of having. I didn't understand why she was always so worried that I would get hurt when I was little, but it was due to her huge amount of love she has for me. She was so worried that something would happen to me that she worried a lot. I always thought my Mom looked like a movie star. She has the smoothest skin. When she was young, she really did look like a movie star....She is so humble and she gets embarrassed because I love this picture and I always want to show everyone.

I always had 100% support for anything I wanted to do. My Mom was always at my soccer games, softball games, and skied with me. My Mom was always my biggest fan. It didn't matter what I did, I knew my Mom was proud of me. I remember when i was little and I wanted my own way, i would ask over and over for the same thing until she gave in. This worked to my advantage to help me as a teenager. I would just drive her crazy until she let me go with my friends. 

Fast forward a few years and it was so much fun to watch my Mom become a Grandma. She was so excited to give Kiersten her first icecream cone. She loved giving her baths in the sink. She babysat Bronson after kindergarten, and he had her wrapped around his finger. Karlee was special because she looked just like me, and she loved being with her grandma.  My Mom has been such a great support to me with my kids. Most of all she loves us from the bottom of her toes. Both of my parents have been a huge support to me, however it is Mother's day and so this post is about my Mom. 

 My Mom has taught me to love others and she always helps to see the other side. She is amazing, beautiful and so much fun. I am so thankful Heavenly Father trusted her to take care of me and to help me reach the best of my potential. I am a daughter of a Heavenly Father that loves me. He has a plan and I am so thankful to be part of His beautiful plan. I am honored that I am part of the plan to strengthen families. I love that he knows how to help us reach the best of our potential and that I have such an amazing Mom that helps me every day. Love you Mom!
