I have been a mother for 8 years. I would be lying if I said I didn't look forward to the great cards, flowers and gifts that shower me on Mothers day. All so that my family can celebrate my awesomeness :) That, of course, is a joke because I know there are many times when I fail as a quality mom. But here is the beauty....they love me anyway! And they wouldn't trade me for the world. The same goes for my mom to me. She put up with the adolescent me. Yikes! And I think the 2's are hard! But she still loves me and she didn't kill me. Mothers Day is to give our Moms a little extra love and attention. This year, I have to say was probably the best yet. And it had nothing to do with flowers and gifts. The day went something like this......
First things first like any Sunday, our family went to church. I usually sit alone while Andrew runs the computer, but this Sunday, I was lucky enough to sit between 2 fantastic ladies! My sister in law Jenny on one side and one of my BF's Sarah on the other! Just a small blessing but a good start to the day!
After church, it was bbq time back at our crib. We had Andrew's parents, his sisters, and their kids, and my parents over. Andrew grilled up some sweet hamburgers and hotdogs! We also had 2 kinds of salad, and baked beans. My personal fav was the chips and Helluva Good dip! Sooo goood! We all just ate and talked and enjoyed each other!!
After all the excitement, and all of the food, the party died down a little. Some people had to leave. I'm pretty sure they were going home to nap. Cause that's what we were ready for! The kids went to sleep after a bit of persuading and the left over adults took turns napping on the couch. It was the most relaxing part of the day! A little later still and all of our guests departed. It was at the top of the list of successful family bbqs!
But the fun wasn't over. Last October, one of my best BF's ever, Katie, moved to Georgia :( Supposedly they love it there, but how could they without me? Anyway, she was in town to visit her fam. It worked out that she was able to come and spend a few hours with me. Thank goodness too because she had to leave the next day. We were able to spend some great times talking and laughing, and of course planning (we are always trying to plan the next get together)! All that time we got no pictures together! The only pic I got was one of Lucy double dipping in Katie's bowl of Helluva Good! And of course she didn't mind! I will post it because I miss her already!
