St. Patrick’s Day is wonderful for OH SO MANY REASONS – where do I begin?? 
1 – I’m Irish, and love every second of it and wouldn’t change it for the world!!!! 
(photographic evidence provided)
2 – It’s a day about GREEN (and ya’ll know how I feel about green)! 
3 – Reubens, reubens, everywhere!
4 – It’s my friend Kristin & my cousin Connor’s BIRTHDAY!
5 – last, but not least – and DEFINITELY MOST IMPORTANTLY – 18 years ago today – My Mom (who is officially the greatest lady on the face of this earth) – WHOOPED CANCER’S STUPID NASTY BEHIND!
I love you so much, and you are such an amazing example of strength, poise, and grace, AND I am thankful EVERY DAY that you are MY Mom!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!

OMG I love that first picture…LOL! And congrats to your mom – that is a wonderful, fabulous thing. I can relate because my dad beat it, too – about 7 years ago.
