Happy Birthday Mom!

If it weren't for this woman I would have never brushed my hair.  I would have been that child in elementary school with a rat's nest.  If it weren't for my mom I would have been wearing my leg cast for all of third grade - she and the doctor were sure that bone was fixed.  I would have never started wearing a bra.  I would have never had the best french braids in volleyball.  I would have never even started playing volleyball.  I might have had to work a lot more community service hours after a certain "incident".  I would have never had the awesome restaurant experiences I had.  I learned the art of hosting and throwing a fab party.  At 26 I could have been homeless if it wasn't for her.  Even today I would be biking to work instead of driving.  I'm almost certain I would have died by now from too much Top Ramen and not enough home-cooked meals. Love you!
