HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO YOU, MOM!

Sometimes you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders...
...other times, it truly is.
With our wedding, the purchase of a home, your daughter's 21st birthday, your 25th anniversary, your son's 13th birthday, your father-in-law's 80th birthday, your husband's promotion, your daughter's 18th birthday, your daughter's high school graduation, and everything in between [literally, everything], it's easy to forget that you have special days this year, too.  You have been such a strong and balanced woman through the chaos, as well as a wonderful mother, wife, and employee.  2013 is a HUGE year for our family, and your birthday is just another cherry on top :)
h a p p y BIRTHDAY, Michy pants. Love you lots + lots.
Maybe a Malibu bay breeze on me after the wedding festivities subside? I thought you might like that!

ps, I hope dad doesn't kill me for putting this picture on my blog, but you looked too gorgie in this picture to not post it.  kloveyoubye <3
