June 11 is very special to me…

First of all, on this day a few years ago, Jolene Todd was born. Happy Birthday, Mom! You are my best friend, mentor, and mom. God certainly knew what he was doing when he put me in your care. I cannot imagine how my life would be without you in it. You are a lot of the reason I am who I am today. And I think you did a pretty good job raising me. 😉

This day is important secondly because it was on this day 7 years ago that Pearson asked me on our first date. We went to see “Cars” later that week. Before that we had been talking and flirting a lot and after that we sorta became boyfriend and girlfriend, so when we finally ‘DTR’ed, we decided June 11th would be our anniversary.

I know of several other birthdays today and a couple wedding anniversaries. It looks like June 11th is a day for celebrating!
