Happy Birthday, Mom.

If ever two people were kindred spirits, it's us.

For all of the time spent...

- Loving all things fall...Leaves, Pumpkins, Candles, Autumn Mix, Party Mix, Gourds, and opening the windows when it's 60 degrees out

- Re-arranging furniture. It's an addiction. And you're the source.

- Surviving Dad and all of his mishaps...The broken golf club through the window, the "no junk" phase, storing hundreds upon hundreds of golf clubs in various locations, and the infamous Canned Ham Fiasco of 1991.

- Forgiving me when I put Tide in the Dishwasher

- Not being angry when I "just had" to wake you up during a Sunday afternoon nap to ask something incredibly important.

- Telling me that if you could pick from all of the girls in the world for me, Jenny is who you would have picked.

- Turning a blind eye every time Bailey or Annabelle climb on your bed, sit in your chair, or tear something up...

- Telling Benjamin that you and Granddad "Love him every day"

- Coming every time you were called...

Happy Birthday, Mom...Chris...Grammy

We love you dearly.
