If so, I am sorry.
Did I mention I have the best mother-in-law ever and it is her birthday! Yep, Lucas missed sharing a birthday with Mimi by one day.
I often hear some of my friends talk about how much they can't stand their in-laws or how awkward it is around them and I feel really sorry for them.
The first couple of times I met Melidee it was a bit awkward, but that was probably due to the fact that Eric hadn't really told them we were dating (since he might have been dating his sister's old roommate at the same time).
I think I might have also felt a bit awkward as my in-laws are well over 6 feet... and I come in at only 5'5". But luckily that all soon ended (not their height-just the awkwardness). My mother-in-law took me in, literally for a while when Eric and I were engaged and I was mostly unemployed. She took me shopping (a passion of hers) and just made me feel welcome. As I have had children she has come and spent many weeks with me and has fully stepped in and taken care of my kids, cleaning (another passion of hers) and well just everything. And I loved it.
So to my wonderful mother-in-law who is so full of life and one of those people that everyone really does love, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!Thank you for loving me, accepting me and for being my friend.
I have a MIL that I adore, too. It's just the most terrific blessing, I know. Happy Birthday, Mimi!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tribute post to your ML. I think I'm going to be one of those ML's that my sons wife is going to hate. Cause he'll always be my little mamas boy. lol
ReplyDeleteI almost didn't comment because I am insanely jealous of your good fortune in the MIL department.
ReplyDeleteYou are a very very very lucky girl.
I on the other hand am not so lucky in that department.
I agree with Carolyn!!! It must be wonderful to have that kind of relationship with your MIL. She sounds like a fabulous person!
ReplyDeleteA loving and true post! You know, she's just as lucky to have such a wonderful daughter-in-law too! Happy Birthday Mom!
ReplyDeleteShe is such a sweet fun lady! And why wouldn't she take you in??? You are also very sweet and fun! Happy Birthday, Aunt Melidee!
ReplyDeleteMILs are the best in my opinion:) I have an awesome MIL myself. I hope she has a wonderful birthday!
ReplyDeleteI love your reworked page! It looks really striking. And the portrait of you and Mel is lovely.
ReplyDeleteSo absolutely cool that you and your ML are such great friends...that is how it should be. You are obviously the daughter she always wanted and what a better way to be part of a family than total acceptance. Good for you & Happy Birthday to Melidee!
ReplyDeleteYou are very lucky to have her as a mother-in-law. I would be jealous but she's my aunt :)
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely post and wonderful honor to your mum-in-law :)
ReplyDeleteSo great!! She sounds like a wonderful woman. You are very lucky :) Love your new set up here by the way. Did you do it all yourself?
ReplyDeleteThat's so wonderful! I love the new blog layout, by the way! :D
ReplyDeleteI have a great MIL too. I absolutely love her and she is like a second mother to me. Happy Birthday to you MIL.
ReplyDeleteI think you really have to let yourself be a part of someone else's family and realize that its ok to love them like your own family, it took me awhile to get that but now that I've let my in-laws in, I do love them a ton. She seems fun and she is so darling!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great relationship that you have. I too have a wonderful MIL but our relationship isn't a very close one.
