I am so thankful for this little boy who changed my life 22 years ago today. Becoming a Mom for the first time really changed my world forever. It is one of the greatest blessings I have. I am blessed with obedient, good children and I am forever grateful for that. I love Matt so much! I am so excited for his upcoming wedding to Casey. She is a wonderful woman and I know they will have a happy and successful life together! :)

For Matt's birthday today, we had his wedding "BATH". The equivalent of a bridal shower for men. It was hilarious. Everyone brought him a new or used tool. He got quite a few! :) We had cake and ice cream and his sisters made him a cute banner. I am bummed I didn't get any pictures. My camera is broken! :(
