My FIRST Mother's Day...

This was my FIRST Mother's Day and I was soooooo excited!!!


For the past two weeks, I was anxiously anticipating my first Mother's Day and everything that came along with it and I must say that I was VERY pleased. I started receiving gifts and cards from family and friends the week before and it only got better as the days went by. My God-Daughter and her mom sent me the most delicious Chocolate Covered Strawberries and my parents sent me these beautiful Asiatic Lilies that are still alive! (I just knew they were going to die soon) I also received several cards.



On that Sunday Morning, the Munchkin and Keno brought me breakfast in bed and afterwards they presented me with more cards and gifts. The Munchkin signed his own card and even left me a hand print that will never go away. (Yes, that's his real hand print...He has big hands! LOL!) I also received two more charms to go on my Pandora bracelet. (Pretty soon my bracelet will be complete!!) For the remainder of the day, I relaxed and worked in my flower garden and enjoyed the personal time with my family.


There is never enough money, cards, flowers or gifts to repay a mother for all of the love and hard work that she puts into raising her children. I thank God everyday for both of my parents. Now, that I have a child of my own, I have a different outlook on life and appreciate even more all that my mom and dad did for me.


This was a WONDERFUL Mother's Day and thanks to everyone who called, sent a card, text, or Facebooked me on that special day....Now onto planning for Father's Day. Mr. Brown is a good Daddy so I have to make sure his day is just as special as my day.

Happy 39th Anniversary Mom and Dad!!!

Today my Parents are celebrating their 39th Wedding Anniversary!!! This is such a blessing and my siblings and I are very proud to have them as our Parents. I often ask them, what did they do to stay married for so long and both of their answers are always A LOT OF PRAYER!!!

My parents marriage is a great example of what a Christian Marriage should be like. They worship together, pray together and attend Bible Study together. My Dad is Deacon in the church and doesn't take his duty as a Deacon lightly and my Mom is a Deaconess who is always there to lend a helping hand. I'm quite sure they have their challenges but their love for one another has never wavered. I pray that my marriage will last just as long and that Keno and I can continue to have the amount of love in our marriage as my Mom and Dad has in theirs!

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!! Hope you have a blessed day and many more!!
