Mother's Day

I think I literally have the best mother in the world. She is so silly and we have so much fun together! We had a great time spending the day together one day watching Safe Haven (totally recommend that movie by the way) and just talking. I love just talking with her about anything! Work, friends, Blake... etc. 

Lately it is hitting me that I am leaving her for a year and a half. How will I function without her? I need to hear her singing the wrong words to songs and dancing all the time and thinking that Spain is a part of Mexico. She makes me laugh. 

For Mother's Day weekend, I was nannying for a great family in my ward. For SIX kids! That is how many my mom has! I got three days to realize just how hard it is to be a mother, although they say it is easier because you go one kid at a time. I got the teenagers to the toddlers, and also a baby. It was such hard work! I cannot believe that mothers do that all day every day. It made me so grateful for my mom and every thing she has done for me. I love her so much. I'm so glad she put up with us kids for all these years, and to think she will be an empty nester in a month and a half! I love her.

Also! Mother's Day means MISSIONARY PHONE CALLS! I got to hear from my little brother, he is doing so good. It was great to hear from him. I wish I had a picture of us all talking.

Then I hopped on over to the Sondereggers to talk to Blake! We didn't even even know when he was calling so we waited all night basically. Then finally he got on skype! We got to see him! He looks so good and adorable! But the thing is, we couldn't hear him... He could hear us, but we couldn't hear him. It was so sad. Then after 20 minutes he mouthed, "One second, we will try and fix this." So he hung up and we waited for him to fix the sound. Eventually, like an hour later, he just called, no skype. It was so wonderful though. I love him so much. It was amazing to hear about his Philippine adventures.

Skyping little Blakey! 

Shenanigans!

Today, I was bored. I texted my friend Joshua (Sunny)  Johnson. And maaan! We had a fun day. We went to the new mall place called Station Park and we decided we wanted to make people look at us uncomfortably. It was the best. We went to Harmons and followed the workers and said weird conversations loudly. This guy was stocking the apples in the store and Sunny and I argued loudly about which apples are best. The worker was secretly snickering at us. Then when he was done he half smiled at us and asked if we needed help. We said no thanks we are just looking. Then we went to this hipster worker who was stalking juices and yogurt and pudding and we were so funny. We were there for a half hour "debating" on what we should get for a party for a ton of people. We tried to be as annoying as possible. Probably the funniest day of my life. I wish I could describe it better, the way I type it, it sounds so lame, but honestly, it is the funniest thing ever.
Next, we bought five dollar speakers from Ross and sat on a bench outside blasting our awesome hipster music and nodding our heads like it was the best thing ever. People gave us the best looks. We sat there in the ninety degree heat nodding our heads to the great tunes.

Hahaha we seriously think we are so cool and hilarious. We really are. I will for sure have to do more weird stuff like this. It is so fun to see how people react to weird people. Hiliarious.
