What a delightful birthday I enjoyed! My family creates such magical moments in my life; memories I will hold dear forever! I love each of you to the moon and back :)
I decided to celebrate all month by giving back to others for blessing my life with the gift of their love and friendship by doing small things to lift spirits and create smiles. Jon, Cam and I then enjoyed two days pursing things I enjoy and places I like to go :) Ashley, Paul and Connor, though living far away, also blessed me with their thoughtfulness! Now once this Fx and upcoming surgery heals we look forward to a fun trip to Washington DC to enjoy a temple session and visit a Smithsonian exhibit and the monuments. We have loved our many jaunts to DC over the years with family and friends and I would like to visit one last time before we leave the East.
A spattering of the many fun Facebook messages I received from family and friends. These are mainly from friends of my youth I thought would be fun to post them here as we go back so many years together:)
From Ashley: Happy
Birthday to the most incredible mother on the planet! I can't wait until you're
closer to me so we can pick back up on the lifelong traditions we love.
Shopping, lunch, movies, baking, chatting! You've taught me everything about
faith, love, and family that I hold near and dear to my heart. Let's sing
Primary songs and go for ice cream with your favorite grandson! He wants to
snuggle and read stories with you. Your selfless love toward everyone
this month and always needs to take a turn back to you today! To the mama who
taught me how to stay positive no matter what, to remember who I am and what I
stand for, to keep my eyes filled with love and compassion, to passionately
inhale life and exhale gratefulness, to take sound risks, and to flood the world
with love... I love you so much. I definitely don't say it enough but today I
get to shout it from the rooftops: I am so glad I chose you to be my mommy
because there is no one else in the world who could ever love me as much as you
do! Let's celebrate the wonderful person you are - queen of the world for today
and every day!
My response: Oh
my goodness Ashley babe I am speechless! As a mom you only hope and pray that
you truly raised your children well and in keeping with their spiritual DNA and
love of their Heavenly Father. The stewardship of being a parent is an awesome
yet often times daunting one and daddy and I were so very very grateful that we
were blessed with you and Cam! Nothing I have ever experienced or longed for
has or ever will surpass the role and blessing of being a wife and mother!! You
kids are my heart and soul; my very sunshine each day We've been able to create
so many incredible memories together and learn important life lessons and many
times I felt I was not measuring up to the caliber of mom I longed to be but
pay back is seeing ones children grown, thriving, capable, loving, happy and
grateful for God's many blessings in their lives. I love you so much and am so
touched that you did, indeed, learn so many things I attempted to teach you over
the years. You take my breath away sweetheart and I am so proud of you as the
woman, wife and mother that you are in living your truth with optimism,
commitment and joy. Hold fast to your testimony of the gospel and continue to
rear your family in righteousness and you can't go wrong because the Lord will
always be with you and so will I! xoxo
