Birthday and New Car
January 28th is my Mom's Birthday. So of course I have to write and give my mom and birthday shot out. So for my mom.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I have a lot of things I can thank my mother for... but the most important is personal strength. I bet you all are saying... What's that? Well my mom has done a lot of things in her life. For a little red-haired white girl from Saginaw she got to do a lot of things in her life. She survived polio as a child, traveled to different countries, went to College, moved and settled far from home, married a guy who didn't speak English, and raised four crazy kids. I can only hope to be able to do half of the things in my life that my mother has done.
In the last 5 years... my mom survived cancer, and she barely blinked. Went home in record time, and never complained. She kept telling me how bad she felt that I left college for a few weeks to be there... "you don't have to be here...." She finished her Masters Degree, and then was surprised that her boys all came home from college to celebrate with her. Finally she has moved once again across the world... and is living in Bolivia. Despite the horrible heat... she is doing just fine and already planning her next trip to the USA.
Well Happy Birthday mom... you are the best role model and mom a guy could ask for. Thanks.
Final note... this weekend I got a new car. I traded my little Sentra for a nice Nissan Altima. Its a good four door family sedan. More leg room in the back for Novali, trunk room for family trips, and something that will last me a little longer. So now the big question is... what will I race this summer?
