Celebration
Happy Birthday to my Mom!! I tell you what, she just gets more and more cool as she gets older! I used to think that we weren't so similar but I find myself doing certain things like she used to, and that makes me smile. The coolest thing is when you realize that you are good friends with your mother! Thanks, Mamma, for everything you taught me; for your love and patience. You are awesome.
It's the time of goodbye's here on A-lag. I prefer to think of it as a celebration of the time we had together. We are the lucky ones who are richer because of the people we got to know, the ones we carry in our heart long after the goodbyes have been said. Andrea, we miss you already.
I'm only doing this because i was told...
Nice pictures. I totally know what you mean by your mom getting cooler as you get older. It could also help that when you are away from your mom you don't have her doing some things she would do. Then you realize everything she does. But I miss my mom too. And I see her in me all the time.
I like seeing your pictures too with some familiar faces.

Teresa!! My Dear Venn...
I was waiting for the perfect time to write a post and now is the time....(for us to run!):) You website is seriously fab. For it is on my favorites and that means its a good one! Thank you SO much for the past months here at Brunstad and for being soo caring and so thoughtful! Its awesome to be able to sit in your office and just talk with you, its SO nice and I love it!! I really am going to miss you SOOOOOOOOOO much when I go home but I'm so thankful that we will be able to see eachother so often at Victory. I love you lots...
Shanon, I agree with you - Teresa's website IS fab, to put it mildly. Her mother is even better! According to Mark, "Mary Byler" (in a Mark accent) is HIS friend..(So's David Byler for that matter:) And a little titbit, Mary's Byler is for people and Pappa's is for frogs!! That's what he said. I kid you not! Teresa, we are counting down the days to your return, at least I am. Thinkin of you very much - (and eat a stuffed mushroom for me, please!)
