A few reasons I absolutely LOVE my mother:
- She always listens to everything I say
- She often has good advice for me
- She laughs and, more often than not, puts up with my craziness
- She woke up every morning at 5:00 am to make all of our lunches
- She always made sure we had family prayer before we left the house, so that meant praying in shifts, once with the earlier seminary kids and then again with those that left later in the morning.
- Shes totally a super mom, always having dinner done, going to school, and still sparing a few moments with us.
- Her to-do lists are always 5 miles long, yet she always manages to do it all
- She is an AMAZING cook
- She loves to shop for shoes and that is definitely one of my passions and something I love doing with her on occasion
- One time we were stuck in traffic on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge and we went like 3 miles in 3 hours, no joke, and my mom started getting bored, so she grabbed Jared's GI Joes and started playing with them and it was SO funny we laughed for hours. While we were still stuck in traffic she rolled down the windows and turned the music up loud and we all sang along to the radio. People around us were staring and some were even laughing at us, but it was so fun, because as some of you might know, thats not usually like my mom. Shes too proper :)
- She is SO patient
- She is so thoughtful, especially of other people's feelings
- Despite her feelings of inadequacy, she made my prom dress when I asked her to, which turned out absolutely amazing by the way!
- I don't ever remember my mom not being home when I got home from school, she was always there to welcome me home and ask me about my day.

I love your Mom too:) That is one thing I will never forget about my Mom either- her diligence in getting up every morning at 5am to make lunches. Aw, what seminary sacrifices everyone makes:) Happy Mothers day to you too! I loved the GI JOE story by the way- so fun to picture.
That was sweet. Yeah, some of those things surprised me about your mom because she does seem "proper" :)
I love you with all of my heart Carrissa, thank you for the sweet words. I am grateful to have such a sweet daughter!
I think your mom is awesome, too. She's very pretty and proper and talented. I would say that I wish she had been my mom, but that would mean you would have been my sister, and well, that would be kind of weird, don't you think?
Aww, what a sweet post! I loved all the stories and getting to know her even better:) I love your mom too!! {She also reminds me of my mom in a lot of ways}
Your mom is awesome! I love the story about her playing with GI Joes...who knew? That's so fun! Happy Mothers Day!
I LOVE your blog!! Teach me how to make a great one like yours!! Miss you girl and think of you often - especially our time at girls camp.
I like that story about your mom when you were stuck in traffic. That's so funny she was playing with the toys and singing! When I got stuck in traffic with my sisters we played with the animal crackers and lined them up in the window. People laughed at us and one car even took a picture! HAhaa! It's fun to do silly things to pass the time in a traffic jam. =)
