Mother's Day!

We took mom to Pizza Ranch for lunch on Saturday, then we had a cookout at my place on Sunday - a very nice Mother's Day weekend.

I have loved being a mom probably more than anything else in my whole entire life. I am so thankful for the honor and privilege it is to have had a part in helping Barry, Mallory, and Tanner become the people God intended for them to be. I know I've made mistakes, but I've tried my best, and I love them and I am so thankful for all they have brought to my life and all they mean to me. There have been times in my life where they were my actual motivation to keep breathing. Thanks kids! I love ya.
