10/10/10

My beautiful amazing mother turned 70 years old on 10/10/10.  I think it is such a cool birthday that it should be remembered.

My mom is now exactly twice my age. 

She was 35 years old when she gave birth to me (her 8th child).  I am now 35 awaiting my 3rd.

I consider it a great honor anytime anybody compares me to her.  I hope that someday I can be just like my mother.

I love you Mom!  Happy birthday!

  6. I have the BEST mother-in-law. She is intelligent, beautiful, and deeply spiritual. I am so grateful for all that she taught Jessica. Jessica's spirit must have been ready to learn, but she sure had a great example in her mother. Happy Birthday Mom!

  8. Dearest Jessica,
    How I love you! I've been catching up with your wonderful blogs: your birthday/anniversary, lots of fun with Rachel and this one. You have such a gift to say just the right words! They come with love and passion. You have always had a passion for living. I'm so glad to see that at 35 you still have it. You are a blessing to all the family. You are blessed with great love, faith, talent, generosity, kindness. I love you, Doug, Elizabeth, Rachel and the new one with all my heart. I am very grateful that you came into my life at 35. What a joy you are to me!

    Thank you for the wonderful birthday message. I will always treasure it and the dear daughter who sent it.
    Love always dearest Jessica,
    Mom
