80 is the new 30

My awesome grandma turned 80 years young today! I am so blessed to call her my grandma! I like to think that I am a lot like her. And I can only pray that I raise my children to be as awesome as hers!

If you have ever thought I spoke my mind a little more than might be socially acceptable, or that I had a unique self confidence, I got most of that from her! She is a strong woman, with a welcoming spirit that I can only hope to embody. Not only that, but she raised my Daddy, who is pretty doggone awesome. Her life has not been easy, believe me, but it has been full! That woman has a will of steel, so just don't even try to mess with her.

Her home is a place where I can always expect to be welcomed with freshly baked cookies and a warm smile. And you would be too...just drop by sometime! Not really, that would be kinda weird, but you get my point.

Happy birthday, Gma! Here's to the next 80 years!!
