So I'm a little sentimental

My mommy celebrated her day of birth earlier this week, which set me to reflecting on our life together and how much God loves me for giving me such a wonderful woman in my life. She wiped my bum, showed me what matters in life, shared her testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ, fought with me about boys, taught me how to love, but mostly she became one of my best friends.

 As I have moved out from under her wing I have learned that she has taught me so much. Each and everyday I thank my Heavenly Father for her. She is the first one I call when I need to have a melt down, seek advice or just simply have a special moment (believe me I have a lot of those).

 She has taught me so much. I know I can never repay her, but someday I hope to be half the woman she is. I simply wish that I would have realized how much I appreciate her earlier in life. I guess that's something that comes with growing up though right? Good thing she is patient, gentle and loving through all the hard times we've had together because without her I would be nothing.

I know she worries about me daily and I feel her love for me as I receive blessings from prayers she offers in my behalf. She texts me everyday and I am thankful for it because it lets me know she cares (it also shows me that she finally can sort of work her cellular device). So mom, stop worrying because you've done a great job at raising me-trust in yourself and the daughter/woman you've taught me to be.

In the words of Miranda Lambert,

"She loves me more than anything

and she wants the world for me....

Mama I'm okay out here

I've seen how hard the world can be

My step is sure and I know my name

I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be

I'm strong just like you prayed I'd be"

I know my name Mom and I'm happy to say it's the same as yours. Keep praying for me because I'm on my knees praying for you. 

I LOVE YOU.

It's not what you think

I had a great little experience this weekend....

I know you're probably thinking "WOW! How happy for her! (She finally found a man to put up with her)". I'm here to tell you that I didn't....I simply am avoiding men that I can't put up with. The above picture is what I like to call the creepy old man ring, works great I tell ya. Don't worry I only wear it on weekends at work, comes in quite handy.

Who would think I even need to wear one of these when I'm at work looking like this.....

Anywho, word of advice to all the single ladies out there....invest in a creepy old man ring if you're having any creepy creep problems.

It's a dreaded place....

As students we know it's inevitable that we have to complete tasks that we don't want to...some professors like to call this "homework". This is very inconvenient for me....homework and I don't have the best relationship and try to spend as little time together as possible. Thankfully the roomies and I have created something called "The Homework Table". We don't seem to use our kitchen table for much else, just sayin'. So tonight we sit at the dreaded place called "The Homework Table".....woof.

As you can see....I tend to get a whole lot done at the homework table like...getting in some quality music time....but for reals now it's time to get something done so I can find a better attitude for this night! :) I know you wish you had a place as cool as the homework table in your house....oh wait you do!
