The Good Life: My Mother

Take a look at my gorgeous mother!!!

So I just got off the phone with my sister (a wonderful mother of three) and we were talking about how we are simply never going to be perfect. Yes, that was a big revelation to us this week.

But how can you blame us for having such high expectations when we have a mother like this one. She is nearly perfect in almost every way.

I've always known that my mother was there for me. She is my best friend and I can tell her everything, and I basically do. :) I'm glad I have such a wonderful relationship with my mother. I think it all started when I was 16 and I started dating. (Okay, it probably started way before that when she would clean up the crushed crackers that I had thrown on the floor or patiently helped me look like a girl after I chopped off all of my hair.) But, those years in high school are very good memories for me. My mom would always stay up and wait for me at night on the little white love seat upstairs (the one that had the pattern that reminded me of the salt lake temple). I would come home and she would just play with my hair and listen to me as I recounted all the details of the previous three hours. She's always had time for me and has put her children and her husband before herself. Where on earth did I get such a great mom?!

Here are some of my favorite mothers on the planet. Of course my mother, in the middle front row, my two great sisters, Kristine and Kathleen, my sister-in-law Larynn, and my Grandma Lee. I don't have a picture of my Grandma Brough on my computer but she is wonderful too!
