Happy Birthday Mom!

November 1, 2007

Today is my mom’s birthday! Joyce-ee-poo would absolutely kill me if she knew I’m putting this picture up on the net lol This picture was taken at my sister-in-law’s bachelorette party!

Anyway, my mom is the most fabulous, adorable, kind, caring, loving, sensitive, giving, tolerating, and did I mention fabulous person in the entire world. She is my best friend and I would absolutely die without her in my life.

My mom is a very special person. She is a retired high school English teacher who is now a volunteer for the Red Cross and trains new members and teaches classes. She has also recently taken a new consulting job for our school district to work with teachers to increase test scores. She has received many many awards in her lifetime including “Most Inspirational Teacher” voted by students at Western IL University (2 TIMES!). It doesn’t matter where we go together, there is always a past student who gives her a hug and tells her how much she influenced their life.

Happy Birthday Mom, you’re my best friend, hero and rockstar!
