Happy Mother's Day!

Today is one of the most important days of the year - a day to honor our moms!



I have a few moms!



First and foremost, my wonderful biological, or "real" mom, Wendy Kelly!
Thank you mommy for everything you do for me and Savannah.  YOU are the bestest mom EVER!
We could not ask for a better mother.  You listen to us and you make sure we have everything we need and we appreciate that more than you know.  I would also like to thank you for being much more than a mom.  Over the years you have become my best friend.  Thank you for making me feel like I can come to you with anything. I love you!




Next in line, my beautiful grandma!
Grandma you are a huge part of my life.  I love you so much. Thank you for bringing me along on trips and letting me stay at your house whenever I want to.  Thank you for making sure I always have money, no matter what I'm doing.   Thank you for listening to me complain, for taking me shopping, but mostly for loving me unconditionally.  There is no love like that of a grandmother, and I will never outgrow you.




Next on my list, Jessica Smith!
From the very day I met you I started calling you "mom".  You make me feel so welcome and I seriously couldn't dream of a better "mother-in-law-to-be".  You just let me come right in your house and you gave me the keys and told me to move in if I wanted to.  You treat me like you've had me forever. That means so much to me.  Not only are you a wonderful "mom" to me, but you have raised two beautiful and wonderful kids of your own.  I am blessed to know all of you.  I love you!




Next, Nancy "Nanny" Parlette!
Nanny you remind me so much of my own grandma it is crazy stuff!  You welcomed me with open arms and I have nothing but love for you.  Thank you for already being someone I can count on.  I will never forget how you and pop came and got me and Kayla when we were scared of the storm and you just let us crawl right up in your bed and cry 'til it was over.  I love you for treating me like one of your own grandkids.  Thank you.




Next, Loretta Burton!
How could a girl have a best friend like Kelsey without gaining another mom? You just let me right in and took me with you to the beach and you liked me enough to invite me back again!  You gave me one of my favorite nicknames, "Stormsurge"!  Congratulations on your recent graduation, and thank you for raising my long lost sister to be who she is today.  Thank you for everything, mostly all of our wonderful memories from dancing in the living room to screaming at a roach.  I love you "mom".





Last but not least, Tamera Kreh!
Since I was 12 years old you have let me into your house and watched as Marieke and Kirsten and Kayla and I made a huge mess and then fell asleep.  Thank you for allowing us to come into your home and have fun and make the memories that we have made.  Though we have all grown up now, I hope we will come and make many more.  I am still looking forward to making those eclairs.  It WILL happen.   I love you for taking us in and for raising Kayla to be as awesome as she is today.  She's a wonderful friend, with a wonderful mom.






Happy Mother's Day to all of my fabulous moms!  I'm pretty dang blessed if you ask me!







Until my next post,
