Happy Birthday Mama!!

This past weekend we went home to celebrate my Mom's birthday!  What a special lady!  We had a lot of fun celebrating this year.  It started on Wednesday with a trip to the Nokia Center to see Carrie Underwood.  Melissa and I surprised Mom with the tickets.  She was shocked, which made it more fun for us!  Carrie puts on a great concert and we had a blast.  Oh, and I saw a girl fall down off the curb on our way out. I waited to make sure she was ok before chuckling :) 

Then on Saturday we went to the UCLA v. Oregon State football game.  Mom cooked up a storm so we could have a tailgate party, which Matt and I missed because we were walking through every parking lot at the Rose Bowl looking for them.  They were kind enough to save us some! Unfortunately the Bruins lost, fortunately we had chocolate chip cookies in the car for the drive home. Unfortunately the line for the shuttle back to our car was about 500 miles long, fortunately my Dad had not left yet and picked us up on the side of the road for our own private shuttle ride.  

Happy Birthday Debbie Cooper!  We love your ability to laugh and have a good time, your kind heart, and your selflessness.  Your support gives us comfort and your smile brightens the room.  We pray that the Lord would bless you and make His face shine upon you in this new year.  May you seek after the knowledge and wisdom found in His word and may He give you grace and peace.  WE LOVE YOU!!!
