Sometimes I like to brag about my Mother-in-Law

Sometimes people complain to me about their in-laws. . . and then in turn I have to rub it in their face that I have the best in-laws ever! I especially have to tell them that my mother-in-law rocks my world! Everybody is so jealous that mother in law goes out to lunch with me sometimes, and invites me to go see movies, and always genuinely asks how I'm doing. Nobody can beat that! I quite literally have an extraordinary mother-in-law. Brad and I sat down and chatted about what specifically makes us love Elaine so much, and we would like to share all of those reasons with you. :)

First and foremost, Elaine is a crack up! She always has us laughing and having a good time. I love that she is capable of just sitting back and relaxing. She creates a very fun-loving environment !

Elaine seems to always being doing something for somebody else. Her love of family seems to drive her ability to sacrifice so much time, energy and money for the benefit of those whom she loves. I very much admire her work ethic and I know that Brad has learned how to work hard from her and he is so grateful for her example. She shows that family is very important to her and also she never complains about all that she has to get done each day. I know that each and every member of the Johnson family is extremely grateful for all that she does for us.

Elaine is somebody who is easily approachable and is a lot of help when any of her kids need to talk to her about anything. Brad and I agree that it is really easy to talk to her and she brings a lot of comfort and love to the conversation that makes people feel like they can go out and conquer anything.

Overall Elaine is a great mom who works hard for her family. She reaches out to others and makes them feel loved. She is funny and we all enjoy her sense of humor. She is kind and caring and wants to help others succeed in life. She loves her family more than anything and it truly shows. Elaine, thank you so much for reaching out to me and showing me love, I know that it's not easy to put forth that kind for effort like you do. I appreciate you being open to talking about basically anything with me and I enjoy the times we get to hang out. I hope you have had the most fantastic birthday ever! I hope you know that Brad and I both love you very much and we're grateful for the great person that you are and we learn from your example often! We love you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELAINE!
