An Open Letter To My Number One Supporter

To the woman who has shaped me into the woman I am today, my mom.

Mom,

It was once said that "life is too short to leave important words unsaid." With that in mind, I am writing this letter to you in hopes to express just how important you are to me.

As I get older, my appreciation and admiration towards you has grown and will continue to grow tremendously. Looking back, I know there were times that I should have said "thank you" more and rolled my eyes and gave an attitude less. Regardless of all the shout-outs of "all my friends are, so why can't I," you always had my best interest in mind. I'm willing to bet that even 10-20 years from now, I'll still go to you for all the answers (even the simple questions like you can wash a backpack in the washing machine, right?).

You have guided me through so many trials in life, and have also provided me with the perfect image to look up to. With everything you have walked through in this life, it shows me that when life throws some curve balls, to never stop swinging. You once told me, "if you see a path with no obstacles it probably doesn't lead anywhere." You have assured me that even though things might be rough at the moment and I feel like nothing is going right... it's actually a good thing and that God has a plan for my life.

It's crazy to think that as a teenager, I had no desire in just hanging out and sharing with you. It truly seems that now, with all the new and exciting things occurring in my life, I can't wait to share them with you. I tell you everything. You have become my best friend, more than ever.

There is nothing I hate more than letting you down. However, I know that I'm going to from time to time, I never want to disappoint you. I strive to make you proud. For everything you have ever done for me, and everything you will ever do for me, I could never thank you enough. There are no words to express to you how truly thankful I am to have a mom like you.

I love you, Mom.

One of your biggest fans,

Shae

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
