Moms

We feel very lucky to have such great women in our life, but are especially grateful for our moms.  Call us crazy, but we believe we have some of the best moms around.

Growing up I was always told that I looked my dad, however, over the past few years I've heard from lots of people that I look like my mom.  We have stood in the mirror next to each other (several times) trying to see Donna's mini-me...still haven't seen it yet.  True, we are the same height, have similar voices, and I'll give you mannerisms, but the mini-me mystery still remains.  I am grateful for my mom and everything she has done for me.  I was a little brat at times, but she still managed to keep me around.  I feel so blessed to have a great mom in place of the sister that I never had.  I love you, mom and hope to be like you to my future children.

I have yet to see the Donna look-a-like either, but I do see the kind, loving, and understanding Donna come out in Ashley every day.  I'm so thankful for a mother-in-law who has loved and accepted me into her family so well, and for all she has done to help Ashley to become who she is today.  I'm truly one of the lucky ones.  Donna, thanks for all you do.  I love you.

I am so grateful to have such an amazing mother-in-law.  I have always felt so welcomed in the Casperson family and have loved every second.  Tara's efforts to raise such an amazing son, have truly changed my life.  I am eternally grateful for the guidance, love, and fun that she portrayed to Justin growing up.  Thank you for being an example and for showing me a new level of fun!  I love you.

I can safely say that I have the coolest mom around, and I confident no one would argue with that.  Mom, I'm so thankful for all you have done for me.  Even when I was a complete pain in the butt you always loved, helped, and supported me and did everything you could to get me on the right track.  I love you so much for it. You always taught me to be happy and love whatever you're doing, and you still show me up and teach me to have more fun, but most of all thank you for the great example you have always been in everything.  Thanks for being awesome! I love you.
