Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children. ~Charles R. Swindol
Well, I think it's my turn to start helping make some memories for my mom.
I decided to surprise her at a Pine Cove scrapbooking retreat this weekend. It was great, but I think I distracted her from getting much done. Oh well! :)
Mom's (well at least the one I have been lucky enough to have) spend a lot of their time making plans and caring for their kids. A very selfless life. I think at some point, whenever you find fitting, take over.
Sometimes when I am talking to other girls, especially younger girls, I find myself saying over and over again, "You just DO NOT UNDERSTAND, that woman that you have been blessed with is one of the most amazing gifts you will ever receive." I tear up every time I think about it.
So, yeah, I am sappy about my mom. Sure, we fight and disagree(mostly about how much she calls me (: ), but we hardly ever go to bed mad at one another.
Simply put, I just really love my mom. I am excited to surprise her more and change her diapers when she is old, if I have to.

She was so glad to have you there!! What a nice surprise! You're a dear!
What a wonderful daughter I have in you! Thanks for an amazing surprise. The memories we have and will make are the highlights of life! Maybe glimpses of what heaven will be like.
I can tell from the pics she was absolutely thrilled. She misses you so much, I know this was the best surprise ever. So great of you to think of doing that. Very sweet!
I wish you were still in Bartlesville to spend time with my girls- - what an amazing young woman you are and a reflection of the upbringing of your precious mother.
