Today is a special day. It’s my wonderful Moms birthday!

I’m so thankful that I have her as my role model. She is the most courageous, loving, kind hearted woman I know. She’s always patient, I mean…she’s always super early to everything =) She’s the handiest person I know, seriously she can build just about anything. She has taught me how to be independent.

Basically, I can’t wait to be a mom like her. I know that what she has instilled in me will carry me through the rest of my life and I’ll be just fine, no matter what happens.

Thank you Mom, for being you. I love you.

oh, and thank you for taking my photo today. Even though I was moving in every single one…like this one. no idea what I’m doing here but look at the pretty oleanders =)

HOLY MOLY! What a week it has been! My best friend and her boyfriend have been filming all week for House Hunters and what an amazing opportunity for them it has been! Not to mention a complete blast. On the last day of filming Will popped the question on camera. I made sure I was there to see it and was thankful that it was documented by the pros of House Hunters. Plus Bobby, he’s their agent and our friend and he’s been documenting their whole week since I couldn’t be there! So Bobby pretty much rocks. Here’s a photo of the four of us after we wiped away our happy tears for the newly engaged couple! It’s been 5 years in the making so we’re all thrilled that it’s here and now I am super excited to start wedding planning. obviously.

So, congrats again to the happy couple! I love you both times a million!!

oh, and here’s a shot Bobby got of me…probably twittering, facebooking and texting the big news =)

Happy Happy Birthday to my favoritest person EVER!

I’m so grateful for our decade long friendship. She is one of the most influential and inspiring people in my life and I don’t know what I’d do without her.

Laff you Goo =)
