My mom is the bomb. Really, she rocks. I've always known that she is very supportive of all of us, insanely crafty and creative, hilarious, ridiculously organized and always thinks outside of the box (usually for a cheaper alternative for things.) And I know she has passed on some of her best qualities to me as well. Like her helping me become independent, think for myself, and she encourages me to be successful in all I set out to do...not to mention her high metabolism and "skinny genes", green eyes, sense of humor and crafty skills just to name a few. Actually, it's almost scary how much we are alike now that I'm starting to realize it. But I mean, look at how much fun the two of us have together.

Now with the wedding planning, she has taken her crafting and creativeness to a whole new level. I'm talking OFF the charts here people. Beading like a mad woman. Painting jars and making all of the boutonnieres. She's even eating baby food just so we have enough of the small jars. EATING BABY FOOD!! Is that love and dedication or what?!

| wedding mania! |
Whoa baby, look at all those jars! I love them all and am so excited for how unique and "us" the wedding is going to be! Now enough of the decorations....onto even more beautiful items. Since I have my wedding dress, (duh, that's not what I'm going to post pictures of) I have been searching high and low for the perfect head piece and bracelet. And of course, my mom entirely blew my mind and left me speechless when she hand-crafted all of this...

I know, I know. It's all beautiful, isn't it? She really out did herself on this one and I couldn't be more excited and thankful for these items! My mom has always meant so much to me and I can't imagine trying to plan this wedding or do any of it without her by my side. I've actually been looking forward to this "event" for awhile now because I knew how special it would be for the both of us. We've already shared many laughs and tears (thankfully, way more laughs than tears!) and I'm sure over the next 8 months leading up to the Big Day, there will be plenty more of both. It didn't take the wedding for me to realize how awesome my mom is and how supportive she is. But it has made me feel even more lucky to have her in my life and thankful to say she is one of my best friends. So to this, I thank you Mom. For everything you have done, continue to do and will do throughout my life. It wouldn't be the same without you and I can only hope to be the mom to my own kids as you have been to me. Love, Louskilou :)
