happy mother's day

 
today was such a special day for me. i'm in a new club (aka, mommyhood) & today was the highlight of our season. ;-) brian made me breakfast, had flowers waiting on the dining room table. for those of you who know my dear husband, this is a special treat...the man rarely to never (more of the never side of things) cooks. but our breakfast was absolutely delicious.

after church, we fed little G and then headed to moe's for lunch. is it sad, when your husband lets you pick ANYWHERE and you want Moe's? but we sat on the patio with garrett...and brian surprised me with a very sweet card & a gift card for some new clothes! this afternoon i was surprised with yet another precious gift...photos of me, brian & garrett that brian had printed & framed for me. i love them!

but in reflecting on today, i am so thankful to be garrett's mother. i am thankful for his health, his promise & his precious life. i am thankful for a husband who will set a wonderful example for how garrett should treat me...because of the way brian treats his own mother, as well as me. i am blessed beyond measure.

and to our moms, becky & martha...thank you for all that you both gave up to be home with us as children. thank you for the millions of prayers you prayed (& still do!) over us & now garrett. thank you for all the nights you waited up for us to make sure we came in safely (even if our fathers were already zonked out & snoring in the other room!). thank you for making prom dresses & renting tuxes & being homeroom moms & celebrating our successes (even when they were small ones) & for taking us to church & teaching us what's right. we love you both more than we could ever say! happy mother's day!
