Words of Wisdom

For Mother's Day, I thought I would share a few lessons that my mom has taught me over the years that I hope to pass along to Jenna. Some are simple but carry great weight and others are big and need not to be forgotten no matter how old you are.

-ice tea is best unsweet with lemon
-always say please and thank you
-never over stay your welcome
-always write thank you cards
-chew with your mouth closed
-don't answer the phone while eating dinner
-a woman can do anything a man can do.. .and better!
-don't judge people based on the color of their skin, education, career or wealth.
-tears aren't always for sadness but often for joy
-more money doesn't mean a better life
And you're NEVER TOO OLD TO NEED YOUR MOMMY!!!
Thank you mom for teaching me these things (and so much more!) by example more than words. I love you!

Here are a few pics of what Jenna got me for mother's day. I got a new glider for our front porch so we can sit and wait for daddy to come home! She was super pumped to take these pictures.

I couldn't imagine what my life would be life with Jenna and now I can't imagine my life without her. What a blessing to be her mother.
