My Other Mom

The topic of todays post comes thanks to my sister, who yet again is dealing with "mother-in-law issues." She and her mother-in-law have a horrendous relationship....to put it nicely.

I on the otherhand have been tremendously blessed in the mother-in-law department. There is a reason that my husband is the wonderful man that he is -- he has a wonderful mother. She is kind and generous, and I love being around her. We share the first name, we just spell it differently, and still occasionly recieve each others mail as a result. I called her mom right from the start..... long before Brian and I started talking marriage....I probably should have taken that as a sign.

It is no exaggeration to say that I consider her one of my best friends. We think a like in a lot of ways and enjoy spending time together. Some of our favorite activities are shopping (especially the day after Thanksgiving and Christmas), going to the Harvest Festival, talking politics (or anything else) , and eating dessert for breakfast -- we are especially good at that one!!

My friends and sisters are admittedly jealous -- and I certainly can't blame them. I have definitely been blessed!
