My Momma!
My momma is incredible. She has been a stay-at-home mom all of my life, dedicating herself to raising my brother and me. She also home-schooled us, and she encouraged us at young ages to pursue the things we loved to learn. So my brother and I became ball-players and ballerinas, secret agents and astronauts, archeologists and chefs, chemists and novel writers, and my mom was encouraging (and entertained, I'm sure) all the time. She gave us a hunger for learning and then fed that hunger.
Now that Chase and I are grown, Momma is still our encourager to pursue the things we love. She came with me to get my vaccines for Uganda and has helped me plan the details of my journey that I wouldn't have figured out on my own. (My mom is also known as the Vacation Nazi due to her special eye for details in trip-planning.) She has encouraged my brother in his steps toward obtaining his pastoral license, and has been an example of a Godly woman all our lives.
She's quick to help solve problems, funny, the best to discuss books with, and her chicken pot pie and red beans and rice are the best things you'll ever put in your mouth. She shares my love for chocolate and all things girly, and is a great date for shoe shopping. She has so much wisdom to offer, but is quick to listen before she does. She's just amazing.
Momma, here's to you! You're the best, and I love you!
