Speaks To Me Sunday #50

Happy Mother’s Day to the most incredible mom I know… Mine! 

I feel so unbelievably lucky to have been raised by a woman who is strong, intelligent, hard working, selfless, compassionate, wise, and brave. 

If you should ever see these qualities in me… I got it from my mama. 

(Also, a hilarious laugh, a bit of sass, and the ability to lose sunglasses like its my job. 😉)

Thank you, God, for giving me this woman as a role model, a friend, and a mother. I couldn’t ask for more. 

I love you more than Angel Pie, Mom! 

What did you get from your mama?! How will you be saying thank you?

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!

Favorite Five Friday (112th Edition)

Happy Fri-Yay!! I hope you’re pumped up for an awesome weekend. I’m feeling pretty refreshed and excited after a great week…

FAVORITE FIVE FRIDAY

1.  We celebrated Mother’s Day this week, and it made my heart so happy to see so many friends sharing photos, memories, and thanks for their mamas. My Mom is super woman. You can see my Mother’s Day “love letter” to her Here.

2.  My college roommates are some of my favorite people on the planet. I am so lucky that one of them is about to move to L.A. for the next year! This week we got to catch up with Cammie and Steven during their quick trip to find a place to live. It just made me exceedingly excited about the year I get with them. The City of Angels is about to get a whole lot brighter!

3.  So. Much. Packing. It is not my favorite. However, I am super stoked to be moving into our new place. My awesome husband has been working so hard to get us prepared for this move, and we are so close! Next time I write Favorite Five Friday, we’ll be residents of Burbank.

4.  One of my besties was hanging out at Disneyland this week, and I got to go play too! I had such a blast laughing with her, catching up with her family, and enjoying the magic of Disney. I’m sure you know this, but Disney is probably my favorite place to spend time with my loved ones. I think it’s pretty cool that it’s essentially in my backyard.

5.  This week it has been four years since I graduated from Belmont University. When I realized that, it blew my mind that it’s been so long. After the initial shock wore off, all I could think about was my amazing college experience. Awesome classes, teachers who became friends, expanding my knowledge and world view. Theatre that changed my life, friends who became family, and a city that will always have a piece of my heart. I’m so thankful for my degree (thanks to Mom and Dad for putting me through school!), the relationships, and the experiences. Belmont played a huge role in the adult I am today. I’m a Belmont girl for life.

Have a fabulous weekend, party people!

And not party people.

Just all of the people. ❤️

Speaks To Me Sunday #9

  

It’s a special Speaks To Me Sunday as it is also Mother’s Day! 

Throughout my life I have known many incredible mothers who have impacted me and won a space in my heart. I am so blessed to know them. 

There is one particularly courageous, wise, hard working, and selfless woman who needs to be recognized. My mom. ❤️ 

Mom, thank you for my roots. You raised me on a solid foundation of faith and love. No matter what was going on in my life, you created a safe haven for me to grow. As my favorite teacher, you instilled in me all the most important things about life. I learned to be kind to others, hard work and dedication are essential, friends and family make each day worth while, passion is a force to be reckoned with, and prayer is a way of life. You raised me to be the woman I am, and I will always be grateful.  

Mom, thank you for my wings. You trusted me to make my own choices, my own mistakes. You supported my desires, encouraged my goals, and believed in my God-sized dreams. You let me chase after what I wanted… Even when it was scary. You showed me how to fly. Thank you for letting me soar. 

I am so beyond thankful that you are my mom. I love the way our relationship has grown. I love that I can call you my best friend. I hope one day I will be a mom, and that I will love my kids as well as you do. I love you. 

Happy Mother’s Day!

 

I want to hear about your mom! Share your stories.  Tell your Mom you love her!
