Best Ever

Barbara

My Mom is the most amazing and wonderful person I know. Tomorrow is Mother's Day, so I have been thinking about her a TON this weekend. I am sad I won't be able to spend the day with her, but I just wanted to brag about her a little on my blog. :)

I am so lucky to have the Mother I do. She has taught me so much and is always teaching me new things. If I ever have questions she is the first person I go to (unless it is a technology question, then it is Tyler or my Dad.)

My Mom is always thinking of others. As a child, she was the perfect example of service. She cooks, cleans, babysitts, drives and does anything else, that people need from her. She is always willing to be the first to volunteer to serve others. She never thinks of herself first, NEVER. I am constantly impressed by her selflessness. This is one quality that I am striving to become more like my Mom. She would rather be making everyone else happy, comfortable and safe, before even considering thinking about her own feelings in the situation. I don't know how she does it, becasue for me, it is n0t easy to always think of others, but she never fails.

My mom is GREAT at EVERYTHING!!
cooking, scripture reading, loving, serving, cleaning, laughing, sharing her testimony, sharing everything, being patient, being the perfect kind of friend, respecting everyone no matter what.... Just to Name a few!

Those who know my Mom know that everything I have said is so true! Not to mention she is beautiful, a great wife, sister, daughter, aunt and of course... MOM! :)

Mom is so special in so many ways.
These Make Me Smile:
- She is my best friend in the entire world and I love it!!

- She is always willing to be there and laugh with you when things are good and hug you when things are hard.

-She gets really fun and silly after midnight ;)
- She is always on my side.... even if I am wrong. [Which doesn't happen often :) ]

- She would never intentionally hurt or embaress someone.

- She always corrects our mistakes privately and personally in a positive and
non- judgemental way.

A Few of My favorite Memories with Mom:

- Anytime we talk, just the two of us.

- Walmart trip at 11:45pm in the toy isle, where we found a "Tickle Me Elmo" and laughed for
what seemed like hours

- I made the cheerleading team in high school and I called my Mom as soon as I found out. After
I told her over the phone, she was crying and said, "I am just so happy for you! I know how much you wanted this and I am so glad you made the team!"

- It was a few days before I would be sealed in the temple to Tyler. My Mom escorted me through the Draper, Utah temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. There I recieved my endowments with my Mom by my side. It was a wonderful and spiritual experience and I was so thankful to have my amazing Mom there with me.

I am so thankful for a Mom that taught me about the gospel of Jesus Christ. She is always willing to bear her testimony and share what she learns. I love that I can talk with her and ask her questions about the gospel. I know she has so much knowledge and talking with her is wonderful.

I have the Greatest Mom in the WORLD!! Thank you Mom! I LOVE YOU!!
