I grew up with Aunt Betsy always being really close by. I would see her several times a week so she basically was like a second mother to me growing up. Betsy cracks me up. She always has. She has a ridiculous sense of humor and a great sense of sarcasm! I love it. She always has me in stitches when we visit.
I refer to Betsy as the "fireball". You see, she is a petite little woman but don't you dare underestimate her physical or emotional strength. She is the sister in the family who gets stuff done! She puts people in line and makes them straighten up. I think it is glorious! When Nancy and Gaye can't get the job done, bring in the big guns Betsy!
Betsy is one the best cooks I have ever met. She knows how to cook just about anything and it all tastes so amazing. We love going to visit she and George simply because we always get amazing meals! She is so hospitable and always makes everyone feel at home. As soon as you walk in the door she wants to know if you are hungry or thirsty, and she is not satisfied until you are. True Southern Hospitality. I love it. Drew gains like 5 pounds every time we visit. He does not complain though!
Betsy is such a giver. She was an incredible help at my wedding. She organized, purchased, and set up so many details and items of the day (the week really). She hosted an incredible Bridesmaids Brunch for me. It was beautiful and delicious. My Bridesmaids loved it. I remember I was freaking out about not having any concealer and she just whipped some out of her makeup bag and said "here, have this one". She has always been like that. I hesitate to even compliment her on anything because she is likely to give it to me. Not that I don't want it, but she should keep it!
Betsy has been an incredible help to my family. She has always had a plan or creative way of dealing with life's difficulties. She takes care of everybody. I love that about her. I know I can always call her and cry if I need to.
Betsy,
Thank you for being an amazing Aunt to me. You have always been so close to me and I love that. Thank you for spoiling me. Thank you for always helping me and my family. Thank you for your incredible helpfulness at our wedding! I don't know what we would have done without you! Thank you for being so funny and so much fun to be with! Thank you for keeping me in stitches laughing. I love coming to visit you and hopefully we will head that way again very soon.
Love you!
Mary Beth
