You guys are probably so anxious to find out who the person of the week is this week, and I made you wait an extra day!! I'm so mean.
I hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day. I am curious if anyone got a vacation for Mother's Day, since that's the ONLY choice selected on the poll last week! Mom wouldn't vote; I think she was afraid I had it rigged to tell me what she voted for. Anyway, she got a very impractical gift from me- an orchid. It is beautiful, or rather it was when I left it with her on Sunday. Matt went in on the gift with Barry and me, and when I told him I had gotten an orchid, he seemed clueless.
"Do you know what that is?" I asked my little brother.
"Umm..yeah. Like, a kind of sea creature?"
"No, that's an urchin. You thought I bought Mom a sea creature? "
He's so cute.
For those of you who don't know, he's also 24.
Anyway, Mother's Day was great. I got beautiful tulips sent to work on Friday. The boys took me out Friday night to Azteca, our fave Mexican place. Reese and I split Fajitas Texanas. Sunday, we ate lunch with Mom, Dad, Brandon, Holly, Matt, and assorted children. Afterwards, we visited with Grandma Pam, Big Poppa (Reese's new name for Barry's Dad- hilarious!) Carrie, and Nannie Mize. We had ham biscuits and potato salad. It was very nice, and Barry's grandma seemed to be doing very well. Keep praying, though!
Here are some random photos for those who miss us...
True and Clifford at the Book Fair! (is it just me, or does Cliff look kind of pi**ed off?)
Look at my beautiful azaleas! And my beautiful bo
y!!!
True at Cole's rainy game!
This is embarrassing. I took this picture at a stop light to see how I liked my new foundation in sunlight. All it did was make me notice how badly I need highlights. So, I thought there may be a weirdo out there who actually wants to see what I look like on my way to work. If so, t
his one's for you.
More handsomeness!!
OK,the moment you've all been waiting for!!
This week's person of the week is....
HOLLY!!
Now, let me tell you why!
Top 5 reasons to love Holly:
1. She has a great capacity to listen without judgement.
2. She is extremely trustworthy.
3. She is very kind.
4. She makes a mean pecan pie.
5. She is a Supermom- volunteering, chaffeuring, assisting, organizing, and whatever else she can for her kids.
Holly has always been there for me, and she is doing a great job raising my nephew and niece. Furthermore, she has to put up with Brandon, which earns her major points (HAHA). Seriously, she takes good care of him, too. Holly is the person of the week because I love her and appreciate her very much.

I must say that was a hilarious conversation you had with Matthew....must be the UNC education....ha ha just a joke thrown in there for Jon since he is an NC State fan :)
Seriously though, I love the flowers and I am with you on the pecan pie! YUMMY!
I love your person of the week and agree with you on her wonderful qualities. We had a very good mother's day! I did wonder what you look like on your way to work, because I have seen you in the mornings. Kidding! Your self portrait was beautiful and the boys too. Love you all.
Great to see new pictures of the family. I've been wanting to see you on your way to work, so thanks,I can mark that off my "bucket List" of things to do before i die. p.s. the tulips were beautiful!
I love your new pics! That is a great choice for person of the week. Holly is such a sweet and caring person. I hope you all have great week! Can't wait to see your next post!
