Mother's Day.

Me and my mom in 2008 on the strip in Las Vegas.

Yesterday we celebrated Mother's Day with my family at our house.  I cooked a family favorite: roast,  potatoes, carrots and rice smothered in gravy!  In attendance: Gary, Dad, John Allen (my brother), Jessica (my sister), Trevor (my cousin), and of course Mom.

I'm so blessed to have a mother like mine.  She taught me everything I know, she always encourages me to be anything I want to be, she loves me unconditionally, she listens to me vent then offers wise advice, and she showed me how to be a lady who loves and serves her family.  She is not just my mother, she is one of my closest friends, the one I know will be in my corner no matter what.  I hope that some day I can be half the mom she was for us.



Happy Mother's Day!

Well a lot has happened over the past two weeks. We went to Dallas to visit the Grant's for a weekend. We hadn't seen them since Christmas, so it was nice to hang out and catch up. Work has really picked up, the past two weeks we have been very busy. Our year anniversary is coming up June 3rd! I am so thankful for the success of our business in our first year.

The following weekend, some friends and I threw Meredith (a college friend) a Bachelorette party. We had dinner at Bonefish Grill, and had a slumber party at Brooke and Lyndsey's apartment.

We also celebrated Cinco de Mayo with Justin, Kirt, and Luke in Arkadelphia! We had a Mexican dinner and watched American Idol. Kris made it to the top 3 and came home to Arkansas this week! It was so exciting to see him on the news all week. I can hardly wait to for Idol on Tuesday! I also bought tickets to the Idols Live Tour in July. Brooke and I will be seeing Kris up close and personal from our floor seats at Alltel! SO excited!

Yesterday we went to Arkadelphia for Gary's cousin, Katie's graduation. It was weird to think 5 semesters have passed since I walked across that stage. Time flies!

Celebrated Mother's Day with the fam today. I have the best mother/friend in the world!
