My mommy is the BEST!!!

I know this is kinda late but I haven't been by my computer all day. I need to pay tribute to my amazing mom!

Quick Bio: Lelani Pickett Craig. Born January 25, 1965 and shares this great day with her dad and oldest daughter (ME!). She was born in Argentina and grew up in Idaho after moving there at the age of 12. She attended LDS Business College as well as the University of Utah. She was widowed at the age of 33 and showed more strength and courage and determination to provide for me and my siblings than I could ever muster up. She remarried to my dad, Dain Craig, in January 2000. She owns her own language company, CommGap.

My mom is such an Adventure Girl!!! She has gone scuba diving (many times, including with sharks!), sky diving, race car driving, parasailing, cliff diving, figher plane flying (and fighting!), skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and probably some other things I can't remember. I am the total opposite of her in this sense. I am such a wimp and would NEVER consider doing most of these things she has done. But I think it is fantastic that she is living her life to what she considers to be the fullest.

My mom is so special. She is patient, kind, understanding, loves to laugh, puts up with our love of board games and card games, sets such a good example of a healthy lifestyle, is always willing to listen, goes out of her way to help me, is super silly with her college best friend (oh the giggling!), incredibly positive and optimistic, loves to try new things, is NOT a picky eater, so intelligent, very encouraging, all about girl power!, more into technology than I am, addicted to her Facebook and Twitter, loves her husband and kids, is a very happy person overall, and someone I look up to very, very much!!!

I LOVE YOU MOM!!!!!!! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! I wouldn't be who I am without you!

P.S. : on a side note, I am feeling much better about life than I did last night. I have a much more positive outlook on everything and even bonded with some of my roommates tonight. Things are looking up. Thank goodness!!! :)
