Day 61- Slacker

Howdy!

 
          So this weekend turned out to be more jam packed then I thought. Which basically means I stayed up too late and got up way to early this whole weekend. I'm POOPED. Yesterday, unfortunately, I was never home for more than 30 minutes, which was used up completely by showering (Sorry a girls gotta be clean!). What was I doing? Well yesterday I got up at 6:30 to go to the big event, which is one of the biggest serving events ever, for real. So I was at this elderly woman's house with some of my church family and we were out in the sun all day working her flower bed and re-tiling her porch. It was exhausting, and then afterwards I had a youth counselor dinner type of thing and we all hung out basically until 11:30 at night. Which is way past my bedtime. So now I'm sunburned and exhausted. Then today I have about a two hour break gap to do things, such as writing this post. I'm not complaining because everything I did was a blast. Weekends like this are really good reminders about the amazing people in your life. So for that I am thankful. Sorry for missing a day!

Memory #61

             Weekends like this always make me think of my mom, not because they remind me of my mom but because she would be the first person I would want to tell all about my adventures to. It's always funny to think that there was a time when my mom would basically come close to tears when someone brought up the inevitable, "Pretty soon she'll [Me] be off to college." Oh my mom did not want to hear for one second that I would be leaving the nest. I know that when it came to our relationship it was not even close to being one sided, she was my best friend and I was hers. So when it came time for my senior year my mom definitely chose to ignore the fact that I would be leaving but of course did a heck of a lot of work to make sure I would get into college. Which is why mom's are awesome. Anyways I think that was one of the reasons that made my mom's passing so hard for me. I had done all of this preparing to leave home and my family but I had not prepared myself for my mom leaving me. There are definitely things currently that I would love to have my mom here for some stellar advice and mom hugs (Duh). Anyways not really a memory but take it as you will.

Love always,
