Happy Birthday, Mom!

Today is my wonderful mother's birthday! Unfortunately, I've had to work the weekend so I didn't get to do much with her, but her, my dad, and their friend from Michigan went out last night (and are going out again tonight, of course) to the casino. At 5 minutes til midnight, she hit for $1250! Happy Birthday to her. :)

I wish I could explain how great she is. She's one of my best friends, and I don't know where I would be without her in my life. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful relationship with her; I've seen other people who barely even speak to their mothers anymore over stupid, petty arguments or what have you, and I'm so lucky that we have such a strong bond that can never be broken. So, happy birthday to my mom... she deserves the best! :)
