Mini Vacations

So, I've always been a little attached to my mom.  My siblings pointed this out to me my senior year, and I didn't believe them until they gave me cold, hard evidence.  It's true, almost every time I walk into our house I ask where mom is.  In the summer I wander around our yard calling her name, and when she finally responds I just say, "I just wanted to know where you are."  I talk to her on the phone a lot.  The other night I was with some friends, and one said, "Your mom seems like a really awesome lady!"  I was like yea!  Then I wondered how much I had been talking about my mom, haha!  You'd talk about your mom as much as me if she was as awesome as mine :) 

I've been lucky because my mom has had to come down three times this semester for some dental work.  I feel a little bad that she's had to drive down here so many times, but I feel mostly happy, because when she comes it's like a mini vacation for me, and I love it!!!  Every time is great fun, but I especially loved this last time.  Here's a run down of what we did:

Walked down Center Street stopping in all the sewing shops and an antique store.  I would do that everyday if I could!

Went with Ashbee and looked at the apartment I'll be living in next fall.

Ate steak and endless shrimp at Sizzler's--YUM!

Got a "Happy Valentine's" jean shirt with a $10 off coupon at JCPenney's.

I dyed mom's roots. 

She did my nails.

We talked lots and had a super fun time together.

That was her last dentist appointment, a little sad, but I'll be seeing a little bit more of my family this next month, so it's okay.  Thanks so much for coming and making my Tuesday so much fun!  I love you mom!
