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!
