*This post is dedicated to my mom.
August is my mother’s and my birthday month. We like to celebrate it together in many ways. We used to go to New Orleans annually and go eat a celebratory lunch at John Besh’s Restaurant August. We would many times be asked into the kitchen to visit with John, or he would come out to give us his personal birthday wishes. Our lives have gotten busier it seems, and we haven’t done that in awhile.
This year is a milestone birthday for my mom. Usually, we go all out with the cousins and take a destination birthday celebration. This year we are headed to Broken Bow, Oklahoma (post to come soon.)
I am dedicating this post to my mom, because she is an AMAZING woman! She is so selfless, so giving, and such an excellent example of a Christian. She’s my personal prayer warrior, my SnapChat buddy, my sounding board, my cheerleader, and my all-time person I look up to. So, happy birthday, Mom! I hope it rocks like you do!
Speaking of August, I can’t believe it is half-way gone. Here are some things coming up in August on the LL.
