My First Mother's Day
















I can't believe that I'm the one being celebrated on Mother's Day. It was a weird because I am so used to planning secret goodies for Mama with Leigh, but this time I couldn't be in on all the plans! Justin, Leigh, Daddy and Juliet did a great job!
We were all in Augusta, GA celebrating my cousin's graduation from nursing school (yay Amanda!). Mama and I woke that morning to a beautiful breakfast, yummy fruit, pastries and banana chocolate chip bread. Juliet and Justin are treating me to a day of shopping! After church with most of the Brannan Family, we all headed to Bonefish Grill. It was so yummy! I know it was fun for Granny to have 3 of her kids with her this year to celebrate.





Being on "this side" of Mother's Day certainly puts it in a totally different perspective. I have always been so thankful and grateful for my mother. I know she (and Daddy) has sacrificed a lot. But, now that I'm a mother, I am beginning to learn the extent of the sacrifice that "mother" truly means. I've always known Mama (and Daddy) loves me and would do anything for me. I know how much I love Juliet and words can be put to it. Now I know how much Mama loves me! *tearing up*
Mother's Day is a great day to celebrate and now I truly know why!

Check out this website. I've really enjoyed things she's written about and it gives me a starting point for Bible studies!
