I'll keep it short. I'll keep it sweet. I was lucky enough to be blessed with not just one amazing mother but another mom plus two amazing grandmothers. I became the woman I am because of four women. I am so thankful for everything each woman was taught me. My mother is an amazing listener, fully intent on being that person to lean on with open arms. My stepmom is a brilliant advisor and chef. I became a stronger woman because of her. My grandmothers, both strong in their individual ways. I look up to both as they raised two large families with the hefty load on their back. I only hope to do the same with my family.

Love you fancy, beautiful, intelligent, happy women so much. And grandma, I miss you so much. P.S. That is not my dad in the top photo. My dad is far more handsome. :)

And for some old-school funnies, check this video. I am thoroughly embarrassed.
