1. She is a great seamstress. She can make just about anything which is why I have yet to learn how to do it myself. Plus, right before the big kids were born she got a monogramming machine so we have TONS of personalized stuff!2. She is afraid of elevators. She was stuck in one as a child so she will take the stairs any chance she gets.
3. She loves shoes. She rarely buys things for herself, but shoes are her weakness.
4. She rarely watches TV, but when she does it's either the food network, HGTV, or the classic movie channel.
5. Not long after she and my dad got married, he went to Basic Training for the Army and she had to move back in with her parents and share a room with her 5 and 12 year old sisters!!
6. She claims as a child she used to drink coffee every morning for breakfast.
7. I think that's funny because now all she ever drinks is decaf.8. She is very self disciplined. She gets up to go to the gym at 5:00 every morning...no wonder she looks so good!!
9. She loves to travel, but is not a fan of flying.
10. Now that I'm a mom, I realize how much she worried about, sacrificed for, and prayed over me. I am so lucky that she's my mom, and my kids are VERY luck to have her as their Mimi.
We love you Mimi! Happy Birthday!!!

Your mom is a special lady and I admire her so much for all she's been through, her accomplishments, and her unwaivering Christian walk.
She is beautiful inside and out.
