happy birthday to the best mom ever!

Yep today is Pi Day. But most importantly today is my amazing mothers BIRTHDAY! My poor mothers birthday usually gets overlooked and under-celebrated due to the fact that we are almost always traveling on her birthday. It happens to always fall on the weekend before or right during spring break. BUT we all love her still. Yep she is just the best. She is the most self-less person I have ever met and she will probably spend her birthday in the Hospital with Tara getting her infection all checked out.
Growing up I never realized how much moms actually give up. Moms always get the butt of the bread, the last of the dessert or sometimes nothing at all so that the kids can have everything. My mom is the greatest mom ever. If you know her you are a witness that she does 5 million things at the same time and can think at a 100 miles an hour.
The older I get the more I hear, "Wow, she looks just like her mom" or "She is just like Becky" And those are 2 of the biggest compliments I can get. I am proud of the fact that i get my love for deserts from her and thrive off of having 20 million things to do. Actually, I really don't thrive off of that... but that's what happens :)
ANYWAY.
It's my moms birthday and she rocks. Give her a call and let her know how much you love her. Because you probably do. I have never met anyone who doesn't love my mother!

I know right, She doesn't look like a grandma...
I love my momma :)

Rachel you just gave me such a great gift! You are absolutely beautiful and if I resemble you in any way that is indeed a compliment! I love the woman you are becoming and all the things you are learning. I'm so glad you're my daughter and I love all the joy you have brought and continue to bring in my life! I wish we had more time together, but I always cherish the moments we do have.... see you in April for Trav's graduation!
