Some reasons why I love my sister and my brother-in-law:
1. I've loved Jon since the first time I met him years and years and years ago, even though I can't remember that exact day because he's been in my family far longer than he's actually been in my family.
2. T & Jonny are my advice givers. Many people can give advice, but few people give trustworthy advice.
3. T is just simply one of my best friends.
4. T & Jonny have always been a couple I admire and look up to. They beat the odds together time and time again, even on seperate continents.
5. Countless times, I have said to myself (and others at times) "If T & Jonny can do it, then I can do it too." I think that will again be coming in handy very shortly.
6. They concreted my love of country music :) Thank you Jon for introducing George Strait into my life.
7. They rock! Nuff said.

Some reasons why I love my mom:
1. She's still sane after raising me and my siblings- me who left home to live in a 99% Muslim country on the other side of the world in the Middle East for 6 months to experience the world knowing no one and not a word of the language but determined I could do it, my brother who drove her car into a pond at age 2, and my sister who went away for a summer to jump out of airplanes like its nothing.
2. She's the sweetest natured person anyone could ever meet.
3. You ever heard the saying by Eleanor Roosevelt "A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water."? I think Eleanor knew my mom.
4. She is 95% of the time the first person I call to talk to when I need a familiar voice.
5. She makes me want to be a better person, for me and for my child.
6. She taught me love unconditionally and unwaveringly.
7. She's not just my mom, but she's my best friend.
