Happy Birthday to my Mom!!! She's the most wonderful woman ever and has been an inspiration to me in so many ways. So I thought I'd list a few ways in which I am like my mother:
Obviously we don't look ANYTHING like each other... oh wait... we look a lot alike! And she's a pretty, pretty lady (not to brag) ;)
She's a pharmacist, just like me! She went back to school when she was 38 with 4 children and had a 5th while she was in pharmacy school. She managed to graduate with honors, which I did NOT do. AMAZING!!!
She and I sound alike, talking voice and lauging. I LOVE her laugh!! I used to use her laugh to locate her at gatherings!
She is an excellent home decorator... I LOVE decorating and am so glad that I inherited that from her.
She was an amazing Primary Chorister, the kids loved her and she loved teaching them. While I don't do the singing thing, I also love teaching.
She makes amazing pies, especially cherry pies.... I spent one summer making a pie a week till I could almost equal her pies. Now I can make a pretty mean pie!
Her rolls are also amazing... they are still the only roll recipe I make to date. Not only the only recipe I make, but I roll them the way she always did too, although she frequently likes to tell me that "there ARE other ways to make rolls"
She LOVES a good bargain! Her weekly therapy has long been "yard-sale-ing". While I am too lazy to wake up to get good deals at yard sales, I can rarely force myself to pay full price for ANYTHING.
She has a beautiful yard... I don't have a yard yet, but I really want a beautiful one!
She has a funny habit of not correctly hearing what people say... what she thinks she hears are frequently hilarious! I don't necesarily hear things wrong, but I have fun thinking what could be mis-interpretted.
She did a wonderful job making holidays amazing for us as children. I love all of the traditions she and my dad established for us... I can't imagine the holidays any other way... I'm so excited to have a family and carry on those same traditions!
I love my Mom so much!!! Happy Birthday, MOM!!!
