walking next to you...

today is mother's day so i hope you all wrote, called, or spoke to your moms today.
i am so grateful for the my mom...i don't really have the words to express exactly how grateful i am. she is the tiniest, sweetest, cutest, most loving person. really, she is 4 feet 11 inches...we all chuckled when we found that out...it was not her proudest moment:)
her sacrifices have made all six of us the people we are today. from aura to joni, we would not be the people we are today if she did not live her life the way she has and the way she continues to.
moms, they are really special people. remember that.

what a funny little surprise.

for wonderful films on time of great need. yesterday, i was stranded at home due to the fact that i had to work on my tpa. for those of you who don't know, tpas are a thing you have to do to earn your credential...no bueno:/ anywho, i thought i was going to go crazy. i went for a drive because i was so antsy...the focus was just not there:) once i got home, i plopped myself on the couch and decided to check for something fun on tv...yah, i know...but i was desperate.
well, the most amazing thing happed! roman holiday and my fair lady were on tmc, one right after the other. and with the help of those two films, i successfully completed my tpa!!! i really love, love, love those two and my favorite of them all...this is a bonus, is funny face. if you have not yet seen these three, get on it friends:) have a delightful day.

well, he isn't so baby anymore:) on saturday, my little brother graduated from college. i couldn't believe it. i am so proud of him and what he has done with life thus far. he is such a brilliant individual with such an amazing future ahead of him.
we had a fun time. good food, good friends, and one "ok" movie to finish it off:)
i hope you are all having a wonderful week.
