Happy Birthday MOM! I love you and appreciate what you've done for me through the years. I have always thought it was cool that you took such an active interest in getting me the best education possible. I remember when you would make energetic calls/visits to my junior/high school class counselors to lobby for the best schedules. I don't think any other mother on Education Hill was as invested in her kids education, bar Lisa Tracy (but she doesn't count).
I love you Mom. Happy Birthday.

Great post Bryan. :)Mom was probably more of a lobbyist than LT but not quite as intense if you know what I mean. Thanks Mom for helping us get the best education we could!
ReplyDeleteBryan. I just leave your blog CRACKING UP every single time lately! This was a fantastic post :) I loved the quotes. I think Heather and Noelle were pretty much perfect angels, I'm glad you were the recipient of these choice quotes along with me!
ReplyDeleteAre those actual quotes? Good post Bry, thanks for the fun talk yesterday.
