Thank You Mother

Today is my mother's birthday, and I feel lucky to have a mother who really is just my best friend.

I don't know of any mothers who work harder than my mom.

I don't know too many mothers who raised 5 children, taught piano from sun up to sun down (literally she started before the sun came up), kept the house perfectly clean, did all of our laundry, helped everyone with their homework, came to every sporting event, made sure each of us practice the piano, and scheduled, planned, and organized everyone's lives without a single complaint.

I don't know too many mothers who are as capable, talented, and loving.

I don't know too many mothers will laugh for hours with me in Sam's Club after she just fell down on the asphalt in the parking lot.

I really don't know too many mothers who will fly to New Zealand alone with two large suitcases and a cardboard box twice the size of her to bring this to little dorian.













I don't know too many mothers who will travel around australia with me for 2 weeks and stay in the nastiest hostels ever and get yelled at by a pirate and just laugh hysterically with me.



Thank you mom for being my best role model.
Thank you for always encouraging me to work hard.
Thank you for showing me whats important in life.
Thank you for listening to me sob over the phone after I got a 45% on my first test at BYU.
Thank you for listening to me sob over the phone when I got my second 45% at BYU.
Thank you for laughing with me.
Thank you for always understanding me.
Thank you for being my best friend.

Whitney Jay Rozierbaker turned 23 today. Which means we have now officially been best friends for 23 years. If I could calculate the amount of hours whitney and I have spent together it would be shocking. If I could calculate the amount of hours we spent in my parent's pantry playing barbies, we'd both be embarassed. If I could calculate the amount of change we've collected from scrounging through couch cushions, my parents jeans pockets, random drawers, managing lemonade stands, selling sees candy, and dressing up like we're homeless and playing the plastic recorder, then we'd be rich-- only if we hadn't spent it all on pizza delivery. If I could calculate the calories burned from laughing hysterically, I would..I don't know what I'd do..probably laugh some more. If I could calculate what she has contributed to my life, I would realize that there is no way I would be the person I am today without her influence and example and frienship. So here's to you, Whitney Mogley Jay Rozierbaker. Happy Birthday. Thank you for being born, and thank you for being right by my side for 23 years and being one of the most influential people in my life.

Thank You Californians

For all your hard work on Proposition 8.

You can thank technology for that one.

This weekend was Shannon Elizabeth Mehner's bridal shower. The Green House was jam packed full of shan's favorite stuff...including, mexican food, calorie-free drinks, churros, candy, a large pinata, spandex, and whitney jay rozierbaker. Wait, whitney jay rozierbaker? Yes whitney was there, and yes we can thank technology for that. Whitney sat at one side of a web cam through the entire bridal shower, and I am pretty sure 90% of the time she had no idea who was talking or what was going on. The web cam was a little blurry, but I knew it was Whitney once I saw that red oversized Fresno State sweatshirt. Every once in a while you would hear a little voice from a far off distance saying, "Is it my turn to talk?" or "What food do you guys have there?". Sometimes poor little whit was ignored, and sometimes a kind soul would scoop the laptop up in their arms and give her a little attention. So thank you shannon elizabeth mehner soon to be cottrell for choosing an eternal roommate, and thank you whitney jay rozierbaker for still wearing that oversized red sweatshirt.

Oh fall, thank you for being so pretty.

And thank you for Jana's mid-thigh.









Oh, and for my second leg disappearing.
