I know that you are reading this because you have been the most faithful and dedicated person to this blog of mine, countless times you come on here only to find the same post that has been up for months, but nonetheless, you still check...one of the MANY reasons why I love you. As I am writing this, I can't help but to be emotional. Whether it be one of my cathartic poems or one of the scenes from a story I am writing, my imagination goes to places that I can explain so easily on paper, but when it comes to writing about you, my mom, no words, no place in my imagination can fully express the gratitude, honor and love that I have for you. With all the drama and crap going on lately you encouraged me to blog whenever God told me and whenever I was ready. I have been waiting and waiting some more and today I realized I do have something worth blogging about... and of course it's you :O)
Growing up you were my rock, my encourager, my everything. You were also my friend, but it is different now. You are still all those things for me, but now you have become my bestest of friends. You have taught me to listen to God with everything I am, you have taught me to have patience and a love for mankind. You have shown me how to be generous and how to let go of wrongs done to me. You have set an example of how to be a Godly wife and most importantly a Godly woman. You have shown me that there is a huge difference between right and wrong and how I should never walk the grey line...its black and white. Your strength this past year is nothing short of inspiring. You have accepted my husband as your son and for that Josh and I will be forever, forever grateful and blessed.
You and Daddy bless me so much, and as I start my family I am so so blessed and honored to have you right along side of us, running our race together. Everyday with you has been pure joy and happiness. I feel like God has given me the best teacher with you. I want you to know how thankful I am and how much I appreciate you. My words may not be as eloquent as one of my papers and filled with long words that you have helped me come up with ;O) but I have tried to bring them out of my heart onto here...albeit difficult..seeing how you are such an amazing person! You and I have alot of plans coming up and I want you to know how excited I am and how dedicated I am to the adventure and seeing all these things through.
Josh and I see you guys almost everyday and it is absolutely one of the reasons our marriage is so blessed, we have such amazing examples! So Mom, I love you very very much, and I know Josh feels the same way! lol (Counselor!!) haha! We look forward to all the great things that are heading our way and sharing every step of the journey with you. Double Stuffed Oreos all the way, I don't care what anyone says, this is exactly how life is supposed to be, at least for us! Can't wait for our big vacation...and whereever else we plan on going!
P.S. I read through this about 5 times, and somehow I know you will find some sort of spelling error! LOL so sorry in advanced! (Thanks also for making me a better writer!)
Love you always and forever,
Your PUMPKIN

Yay B is back..I have been watching and waiting for a post. Lots going on and I knew you would burst out with a post soon.
This post is an amazingly sweet and honorable post to your mom.
I agree with every piece of it too. Your words were perfect for how you feel about your mom. She is a great teacher, encourager and friend.
I love her too. You are a byproduct of her and carry those same qualities and she has taught you how to use them.
I love you both!! I can't wait to get packing too!!
xoxoxo.
ps...don't take so long to post!! Blog land misses B!!!
I'm so happy to see you posting again! We miss you! This post brought tears to my eyes. I love seeing the relationship you and your mom have. It reminds me so much of me and Ash. You honored her so much in this post and I know she was probably bawling by the time she got to the end. What a beautiful post about the most precious woman in your life.
Great Bethany, thanks for making me look like crap.
well written Bethie :)
