Happy Birthday Mom!!!!!

Today is my Mom's birthday. She is the most wonderful Mom I could ever want. She is always helping me out, whether it be giving me money, giving me advice, being a support system, calming me down about my latest MS symptom or just loving me in that special way only a mother can love her child. So here is to my Mom. The most amazing woman I know. I love you so much Mom and hope your birthday was wonderful!!! Sure wish we could have been there to celebrate with you!! Big hugs from your first daughter and her family all the way in Dallas, Texas. We will be back home before you know it!!!! Happy Birthday!!!!!

A visit to the Gaylord Texan

Brad and I took Riley to the Gaylord Texan yesterday. We thought it would be as pretty as the Opryland Hotel at Christmas. It was really nice and new, but alas, not quite as beautiful as the original. I guess not many things are as good as the real thing...(remember the NEW Coke?)...anyway, it was fun and beautiful and almost free. We paid ten dollars to park. We walked around and saw many really cool things. It was fun to go as a family. Here are some pics....I love my family!!!!!
