Happy 50th Birthday Mom!!!

Dear Mom,

I'm probably gonna get myself in trouble for announcing how old you are to the blogging world, but honestly, you don't look a day over 30. You know it's true! I love when we go shopping together and the employees ask "Do you and your sister want to share a dressing room?" How many mom's can say they pass for their daughter's sister? Not many!

I hope you know how much I love, appreciate, and honor you. You have become one of my best friends over the years and I love that we share a love for so many of the same things: Anthropologie, Interior Design, hydrangeas, sewing, brownie batter, coffee table books, the piano, one-piece swimsuits, Shiba Inus, water with lemon. Haha! I really do love even the little things.

I wish you a very happy birthday today and hope that you feel loved by all those around you. I am so lucky to have such a beautiful, talented, and caring mother like you. Happy Birthday Mom! I love you!

Love,
Aubrey

What a wonderful tribute to your mom, Aubrey! We have such an amazing family and are so blessed to share the kind of "eternal" love that we do. I kept thinking about Grandpa Gerry and how much he loved his little girl -- and his grown-up daughter! I'm sure he is proud of who she has become, too! How's Paris?

I've been so busy lately that I haven't even turned on my computer so I feel like a really, really bad sister right now! I love your mom so much - she's always been my inspiration - who I most wanted to grow up to be like. When you were a baby - I wanted Kim to adopt me so I could be your big sister and live with you guys forever! I loved my mom, don't get me wrong, but I HATED being so far away from my sisters, they were the only thing I had left of my dad. Your mom always put up with me coming every summer and I would cry for days when it was time for me to go home! I am so grateful for you mom, my big sister, and that really was a sweet post. Elissa and I are beginning the "friend" journey now, and it's so great!
Love you Aubs!
