I received one of the best Birthday Presents this year (my birthday is July 28th). Every time I look at it I love it more and more.
My parents are on a mission in Africa and since being away my mom has started writing a specail blog post for each of her kids on their birthday. I love my special post from my mom. It's filled with so many great pictures, some I have never seen, and stories back from being a baby and crazy ones from High School that I cant believe she remembers, and maybe wish she didn't remember. My mom's decription of Devon and I and our courting season is also so.... perfect. I just love how well she has written out my life.
I randomly decided to read it again today and I wanted to put it in a book and a special place where I can share it with my kids in the future. It really is something I will always treasure.
I believe it may be something you might enjoy as well. Here is the link to the sweetest gift my mother has ever given me. (besides maybe the video camera for my 12th birthday)
Enjoy
*Disclaimer: I was a cute baby, but in no way was I a cute teenager.
Very nice! I enjoyed meeting the younger Mary. And I also enjoyed the description of our courting and the description of what a great man I am. Booya!
ReplyDeleteLOVED THIS!!!! I want every mom of every friend I know to write one of these.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary! I am so glad you like it.
ReplyDeleteI love you.
I kind of teared up at what your Mom had to say about you and Devon. So many cute pictures and fun stories. It was really a sweet gift (despite the fact that she referred to me as 'FRIENDS' in the dynamite incident.) "They were just like get out! You gotta get outta here it's gonna blow!"
ReplyDeleteYou were adorable!! Baby toddler tweener teenager single lady bride and baby mama!! Cutie pie! Even when you taught the kids how to be puppies! And stamped all over them! I luv you little buddy. Happy birthday even though it's January. I don't get to read blogs much!
