Top 10 Things I LOVE About My Mother
-I LOVE the way when we tease her, she'll laugh so hard she'll cry

-I LOVE the messages she leaves on my cell phone... "Me-lis-sa... this is your mo-ther calling..."

-I LOVE that she buys chocolate milk for Rob when we're in town, even though her own kids never got such a treat growing up!
-I LOVE Christmas with my mom... she throws the BEST Christmas celebration ever.

-I LOVE remembering the time I lost an oh-so-important election in highschool, and she just came in my room, sat on my bed, and rubbed my back while I cried.

-I LOVE all the hundreds of phone conversations we had during my first few years of college... all day, every day, it seemed like... boy after boy after boy.

-I LOVE the beautiful homemade cards my mom sends me for practically every holiday.

-I LOVE how she has made Rob feel so welcome and comfortable in our family.

-I LOVE how when I'm out shopping with my mom, and I find something I love but if it's too much money, she'll say, "Well, is that something you would like for Christmas?"

-I LOVE that my mom was always at Girls Camp with me. It was so fun to share those special experiences with her.

-I LOVE that my mom loves her sisters so much, because I think she taught me how to love my sisters so much.

-I LOVE my mom because when I share a crazy story with her... she is always so sympathetic.

-I LOVE that she always introduces me to her preschoolers by saying, "This is my baby!"

-I LOVE that she sent me flowers on my very first day of teaching.

-I LOVE that she's already promised to come and visit us in New Hampshire twice a year. ( :

Oh! How I love that mother of mine!
Happy Mother's Day Mom!

Hey Melissa,
I always forget to tell you that your blog is so cute. I just started one of my own, but it needs quite a bit of work. Your mom seems so sweet. I bet you hate being so far from her.
