Happy 29th Birthday to the one who made me a MOM! 💙

Brett, I don’t care how old you get, you’ll always be my baby boy! 🥹 From that sweet little blonde-headed boy to the man you’ve become, I couldn’t be prouder of you. Watching you grow up has been one of the greatest joys of my life.

29 years later, and I’m still just as crazy about you as I was the day you were born! Although I’m still trying to figure out how you’re almost 30 when I’m clearly not old enough to have a 29-year-old! 😂

Love you forever, my baby boy! 💙🎂

So Much Love for September! Had one bestie visit and visited another, premiere night for our national show, went to Canada, got stabbed (ear pierced) in Canada, picked apples at an apple orchard, celebrated friends, and just had some good days in Starkville ❣️

Happy Birthday to my future daughter-in-law, Grace! 🩷🎂

It’s crazy to think this is your last birthday before you officially become my daughter-in-law—although somewhere along the way, you already became family. ❤️

I truly don’t think God could have chosen a more perfect person to walk through life with my son. As a mom, there is such a peace in knowing that the person he chose loves him, supports him, laughs with him, and is genuinely his best friend. That is everything I could ever hope for.

But one of the greatest bonuses has been getting YOU in the deal. From races and ridiculous turkey hats to lake days, wedding planning, and all the fun in between, we’ve made some pretty great memories of our own—and I know we’re just getting started. 😂❤️

I’m so thankful for the relationship we have and even more thankful that soon I get to drop the “future” part for good.

Happy Birthday, Grace! I love you, and I cannot wait to officially call you my daughter-in-law. 💍🥂❤️

Next birthday: OFFICIAL family. 🥰
