Happy Birthday Mom!

Today is my wonderful mother's birthday! I'm so sad that I'm not there in Utah to celebrate with her, so I figured that a blog post would be the next best thing:)

When I was thinking of a way to convey how great she is, I thought of a care package she sent us back in October. We love getting packages here, it feels like Christmas every time we open one. After we picked it up at the post office I was so excited to take it home and go through it. There were several items we asked her to send that we were needing and as I started going through the package I found every one of them, exactly what we needed. I had to smile a little bit to see that the package was packed to the brim, not one bit of space wasted. This woman is organized, creative and efficient. There were several items in the package that we didn't ask for, but she had picked up from some of our conversations that we might be needing/wanting them. She is intuitive and she perceptive. She has always had an ability to just pick up on what others might be needing and she always steps forward to serve them. Then there were some other items that we really didn't need, but were just for fun and made me happy. We can't get a lot of "extras" down here, so their inclusion seemed like such a luxury to us. She spreads happiness wherever she goes.

Happy Birthday Mom! We love you!
