Feliz Cumple Abu Maggie!!!

Okay, just bare w/ me everyone! I know my blog has basically become a birthday blog, but I don't have any more b-days for a long time. So today is my sweet mother-in-law's birthday!!! Maggie (AKA Magali)is one of the nicest people I've ever met. She is very sincere and loves to serve other people. She is so little that I look like a giant standing next to her! The first time I met her was Joel's cousin Laura's wedding reception. I had on my suede Mary Jane platforms from Austria on and I realllllly was ginormous standing next to her! I can't believe she had 9 and 10 pound babies NATURAL!!!! Anyways, Maggie is a very extraordinarily talented woman. She is a professional seamstress and sews anything from window treatments, to evening gowns, to wedding dresses (mine included) for all of the hottie totties in Tampa.She always is sewing something for us when she comes to visit. Everyone loves the window treatments she's done for us. So I'm glad someone is getting use out of my sewing machine! I haven't sewed since the 7th grade!!! She is so busy and is like the energizer bunny. She just keeps going and going and going. She works w/ her clients during the day and stays up late sewing all night. I don't know how she does it! Maybe that is why Joel can function on such little sleep. Runs in the family I guess.
Maggie has always been so helpful for us too. Every time she comes to visit, she just whips our house into shape and helps me clean and organize.... Looking at my house right now, I'm thinking she's due for another visit!!! She is like a busy worker bee. She has really shown me a great example of service to others. And even though Maggie is so sweet, she definitely has an opinion which I think is fantastic. She stands up for herself and what she believes in. She knows what she likes and doesn't like. She is also an amazing mother and grandmother. I am so grateful that she loves to spend time with the kids and babysit for us. Our kids love her and Abu Norby too! They have always been so generous w/ us. They even let us live w/ them for 1 1/2 years. Looking back, I don't know how they put up with us! But we are grateful to them! Maggie, like I said before, you are so kind and giving and genuinely care about others, it's no wonder why so many people love you! I am so happy I get to be your daughter, even if you are crazy sometimes!!! Just Kidding! ha ha ha!

P.S. I'm sorry I didn't write more, but my mind isn't functioning as I've had the stomach flu... AGAIN!!! I really do love you!
