Today is my mom's birthday. Let's celebrate by:
-writing a blog the way Brent does on people's birthdays. (This is your card, Mom.)
-making and baking the best food ever in the history of mankind.
-watching lame movies such as Anne of Green Gables and Gone with the Wind.
-Being pretty much the most hospitable person ever.
-Listening to country music loudly while making and baking the best food ever in the history of mankind.
-sending someone socks.
-laughing hysterically at puns.
-laughing hysterically at ourselves.
-not being a "church lady."
-inviting teens and twenty-somethings over to watch TV, to eat the best food ever in the history of mankind, and to offer them wise motherly advice and accountability.
-buying people things they won't actually use/wear just because you think it's funny.
-encouraging, teaching, being genuine, and exuding joy.
-being the Oh-Most-Wonderful-Mom-In-The-World. (No one else will actually be able to celebrate by doing that. My mom already filled that role.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM.
I love you.
