Happy Mother’s Day!

To all those who are moms, moms-to-be or just have really awesome moms…Happy Mother’s Day! I happen to be in the “those with awesome moms” category so I just wanted to take this opportunity to dedicate a blog post to my # 1 supporter–my mom!

Super random fact about me: my mom and I were extras in a movie called Powder Blue. This is where the scene was filmed in LA.

A special thanks to my mom for sucking it up at the crappy bars in college during parents weekend. This picture was taken at one of the nicer ones (which isn’t even that nice…)

College graduation with my parents (and the only time you’ll ever see me in a shiny red garment).

That’s all. Love you mom!
