Happy Mother's Day Mom!!! Here are 20 Things I love about you.

1. You give great advice, which I should learn to take more often :-)

2. You are selfless. There is definately not enough room to write all the times you have put me and your family before yourself. One example is when you took off work to visit me in VA.

3. You are patient. You have four children to thank for that!

4. You are a hard worker.

5. I loved seeing you laugh so hard when watching "Dan in Real Life".

6. You call me just to see how I am doing. That makes me feel loved.

7. You took the time to talk with me for 5 minutes before I went to bed almost every night.

8. Even though I didn't like it, you made me practice the piano and wouldn't let me quit.

9. You would encourage me in my extra-curricular activities (Student Council, soccer), even if it was playing on the volleyball team in Jr. High (What was I thinking?).

10. You are a fabulous cook.

11. I remember one time I was playing with a soccer ball in the house and broke the light in my bedroom. I felt sooooo bad. You didn't get mad, which you probably should have.

12. You tried so diligently to teach me how to cook and sew. I still remember sewing a skirt together.

13. You read books to us and then when we could read on our own, you'd give us a dollar as a book mark. When we finished the book, we got the dollar. I also remember you reading "The Secret Garden" to me.

14. I love your face when dad tells a weird a joke. That is so funny to me.

15. You always made us breakfast before school.

16. You are a determined person. When you say you are going to do something, you do it.

17. On Valentine's Day, you would give us "Love Coupons" that said things like, "Good for one night of dishwashing".

18. You wrote me every week on my mission and I looked forward to your emails.

19. You serve faithfully in your church callings.

20. YOUR TESTIMONY OF THE GOSPEL!!!
