In honor of my mom turning 60 years old on February 5th I have written 60 things that I love about her.
1. My mom lives the gospel.
2. She taught me how to follow the prophet.
3. My mom loves to travel.
4. With each baby I had she took the time to be there. And then stayed for at least a week following the birth to help me at home. She even brought be breakfast in bed.
5. My mom always fulfills her calling. I remember when she was Relief Society President she was gone on my 15th birthday at an Enrichment meeting. I was a bit peeved about it. But now when I think about it I am inspired by her ability to 100% fulfill her calling and show up for her fellow RS sisters.
6. She taught me how to cook. We always had a vegetable on the plate.
7. She thoroughly adores her grandkids.
8. My mom can do hard things.

10. She pushed me to become a nurse and I'm glad she did.
11. She likes to stay active. When I was growing up she often played tennis and walked the lake.

I love you very much mom!
There are so many good ones! Baja Fresh cup comment has to be my favorite, but the keeping her camera on too long and holding her hand for too long are pretty hilarious!
