Momma's Day

I have so much to blog about. I graduated yesterday (yay me!) with a bachelors of science in middle childhood education with concentration areas of math, science, and reading. I can't believe I am done. I have so much to blog about the ceremony etc., but that will have to be a different day (after all my pics are uploaded!). My grad party is this coming Sat. (the 17th) and we have quite a few friends coming for the festivities. Okay, this blog really isn't about graduation, so I will stop now.

This blog is about "mamas day." So a big HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all my mama friends and readers. You all deserve a CRAZY celebration for all the you do. There is no one like a mama. So, I also say thanks to my own momma- I don't know what I'd do without you :)

Johanna wrote me a nice message on her chalkboard wall today. My family went out to a nice lunch at The Pines where Johanna continued her mommy loving festivities which included chanting my name while she rubbed hot dogs and potatoes all over her head and face.

I love my little lady so much. Motherhood is a journey which can be difficult at times. However, one little smile erases all the difficulties (most days!). It is one amazing ride, and I wouldn't trade it for the world!!

I though it would be fun to post pics taken around Mothers Day last year, and then really recent pics from this year (We haven't taken any mothers day ones..ooops!).

Here are the ones from last year-



Now, here are some recent ones, including some taken yesterday morning before I left for graduation.





Oh how things can change in a year. My little girl is growing up.
