Today is the day that we get to honor all of our amazing mothers! I decided to dedicate this post to the amazing women in my life. I would like to first start off with my own mother!
With out my other I would not be where I am today. Not only because she had to give birth to me but because of my mothers, and fathers, unconditional support throughout my life. Even when they didn’t always agree with what I was doing. For example, when I was a cheerleader Sophomore year lol. But they still came to game and cheered me on! They have been there from getting bit by a dog, cutting my thumb on ten, getting hit by a rock and needing stitches. People wondered if these were all accidents, they were I was just that clumsy! She taught me how to show cattle, how to sew, and so much more. My mother passed on to me her passion for Agriculture and being a teacher. It was because of her being a wonderful role model that I chose to be an Agriculture Teacher and that I will graduate Friday May 17th with my degree. I am even more proud to say that I am following in her footsteps and will be teaching not only at the High School she graduated at but also I will be teaching where she taught.

Mom, Jessica, and me…. We are lucky girls
No matter what I need or when I need her she is always there for me. Even when I’m 22 and married she still came to Springfield to take care of me when I got my wisdom teeth taken out…. How sweet!!!
Besides my mother there are also these amazing women…
This is my Grandma Darby. She also taught me how to sew and cook. She was a Home Economic teacher at Northwest High School. That I will soon be teaching at. My favorite memories of her are going over to their house and asking if I can use the phone to call my cousin Sara. Then Sara would come over and we would play all kinds of games. It ranged from playing kitchen or restaurant with all her dishes. Or playing with all of the fun toys in the closet. We played high school, one of us would be the Secretary, that person typed the weekly newsletter and lunch schedule on the type writer, then the other one would be the Principal who would deal with all the “phone calls” to the parents. haha we were so fun. Then grandma would make us a snack, I loved sliced apples with no peel lol.
This is my Grandma Schuknecht. I love this woman very much!!! Growing up I didn’t get to spend a lot of time with her because we lived a little ways away but I remember staying there over the summer and we would play all the games in her closet, we would do a lot of fun crafts to. Plus all the outside activities we got to do we had bubbles, chalk, and so much more. Luckily when I went to College at UCM I got to spend even more time with my Grandma. I moved in with her and she told me all kinds of stories about my dad, my grandpa, and some of me lol. She was so awesome. She would pack me breakfast and lunch. I know what you’re thinking… I was the coolest college student EVER!!! I am so thankful for both of these wonderful women and I am so bless to be their granddaughter!!
The last women I want to mention is my Mother-In-Law. I want to thank her mostly for raising an amazing son that has now become my husband, but also for welcoming me into her family and always making me feel like part of the family. It is amazing to have such amazing in-laws that support you 100%. I am so glad to have her in my life now she is such a fun-loving woman.
