A Very Special Day

Today is a very special day in the Hudson household...it's my MOTHER'S BIRTHDAY! So forgive me for going a little off course for today's post to stop and wish her a wonderful birthday!!! I haven't lived in the same place as my parents for pretty much the last 12 years so I'm sure I have missed being around for a few special days here and there, but it's a little different when you are literally thousands of miles away. I figure this is the best way to celebrate my Mom since I can't be there to give her a big hug and wish her a happy birthday in person.  

Here are a few wonderful memories with my Mom...

Mom & Dad's first trip to Zambia. Africa just has a way of grabbing hold of your heart :).

Trip to the Highlands

Village visit in Zambia to see a new borehole.

Bridesmaid Brunch

Wedding Day!

Us in Botswana on safari. Jacob is SO ready for football season ;).

Jacob and I both love you very much, Mom, and are celebrating your life from Zambia today!!! We are so thankful to God for you. Enjoy your special day and make that crazy husband of yours (Dad) pamper you like you deserve :). Also, you should have a special delivery from me & Jacob (aka Mary Margaret) sometime soon. Love you!!!

Also, get in the habit of commenting on my blog so that I know you are actually reading it. In fact, if you read this post, just go down to the bottom and leave me a little "I love you". And write a comment for the first five or so posts so it feels like everyone is engaged. After that, you only have to comment on the ones that speak more to you. Thanks!!
