From being a remodel, fighter, leader, boss, to a friend. Words will never fully tell express to you how thankful I am. From every holiday to every sport we have played, you have done it all. To bicycle, skateboard, soccer, and trampoline injuries, your solution for everything is "Ibuprofen and ice." But somehow your method always worked, guess I am still walking.

The best feeling is looking up to someone who did it all on her own and gave me nothing better the world couldn't offer. I did everything else like everyone else, maybe even more. Goes to work earlier than necessary with a positive attitude everyday and always makes sure everyone else is doing okay. How she never has a glass or bottle of wine after everything she does, is beyond me.

I could never say thank you enough for always pushing me forward, seeing the world, trying new things, and always having my back. As I get older and you get younger, it is always nice knowing you have advice when I can be a lost cause. You have taught me responsibility, management, work ethic, loyalty, dedication, and most importantly being open minded.

I strive to be as strong of a person as you are today. I have never met someone who has such a great outlook on life. I aim for such high goals because I know I will have someone there ready to support my crazy decisions. However in the end, I will hear how you were probably right and that I shouldn't buy six pair of boots at once.

Saying "thank you" for all the Birthdays, Christmases, Thanksgivings, Valentines, Halloweens, care packages, loans out for school, and the list goes on. How could "thank you" even suffice everything you have done? I would need to buy you the state of Colorado and give you my leg.

My goal in life is to be as wonderful of a mother, as you are to me. Once again, thank you for giving me the life I have today. I could not be more blessed. Love you!
