Belated Mothers-Grandmothers Day


Since I really never got the chance to tell my mother-in-law "Happy Mother's Day" officially, I wanted to do a little blog on her. She is honestly one of my heros. She loves my children so much and comes and babysits for us regularly. She has laughed with us and cried with us over the years and I have come to feel so close to her. I don't think that I have ever met a more selfless, compassionate, happy person than her. I love that I can tell her anything. She listens patiently to me and I know she will always agree with me and make me feel better even if she thinks I am over reacting which I do sometimes.

I have been so blessed to have this amazing woman in my life and for her amazing example to my husband while he was growing up. I look up to Josh so much and the very same qualities that I see in him I see in his mother. I hope that my boys gain them as they watch both of these two in the years to come. I feel that she is one of my best friends and I am so grateful to her.

She even drives an hour to watch our 4 year old play soccer. She showed up at his game yesterday and I can't even tell you how much it meant to me. She even had Josh's grandparents with her, which I have adopted as my own. Josh's grandma and grandpa sat through a scorching hot soccer game with smiles on their faces the whole time. Neither have had great health lately and I am so touched they would come to something so seemingly insignificant. I really love my inlaws!

Hello- cute blog! In-laws are the greatest, as you know I have some great in-laws too. When is Mrs. U? I would love to get together and do some practice interviews if you would like. I would love to hear more about Project Lemonade.
