Okay, so I know I said that I would not be ranking people in any specific order, but I think I need to make the first 3 people my closest family members. Right? I mean, Drew is married to me, my mom gave me life, and tomorrow's subject has lived with me for his whole life. I think it is only fair. So after #3 the ranking will stop and everyone will be considered equal! Can we all agree on that?
Nancy Hanks Shaw: My fabulous mother.
Oh where to start. My mom is all of the following:
1. My best girlfriend
2. The only person who will be completely honest with me when discussing fashion decisions
3. A woman with great taste and style
4. The etiquette diva
5. Quite funny
6. Super strong and always there for me
7. She is great at shopping for others
8. The best Mom
9. A kind person
10. A woman of faith
11. A true Southern Woman full of both Sass & Class
12. The best shopper I know. Seriously, if shopping were a sport (and who says it ain't?) she would dominate. She is the only person I know who found a $200 black velvet and white satin ball gown for me, on sale at Lord & Taylor for $5.45, and proceeded to use a coupon on it. This....this friends is a GIFT.
Mom-
I love you to the moon and back! I miss you so much. I do not like being separated by this many states. Nor do I like being in the North while you are reining on your throne in the glorious South! I can't wait until we get to go shopping again soon. Thank you for all you have done in my life. Thank you for teaching me right from wrong, how to work hard, respect others, bake cookies, and find a deal when shopping! You are the best! Thank you for throwing Drew & me the best wedding ever. I love you bunches! You are my hero and the strongest woman I know. I hope to be half as good of a mother as you are someday.
All my love,
Mare
