Mothers Day 2012

So I don't mean for it to turn out this way, but I feel like every time I post on my blog it ends up being about cole or my mom, probably because they are pretty much my two best friends... haha I'll go back to doing the 60 day thing (that I failed miserably at) next time but until then you will have to suffer through another gwendolyn/cole post....

So.. ITS MOTHERS DAY!! but It is my first mothers day that I am not with my mom in 21 years... (also my first birthday I was not home for in 21 years on Monday and I didn't like that so much), but not getting to be with my mom was a really big let down. She is my best friend, the source of my sanity when I'm losing it, my go to person, I love her with all my heart. I sent her flowers and a letter for today but it just doesn't seem like enough. How do you let the person who has given you the most know how much you care about them? If any of you figure it out let me know. But anyway point is I love you Mom, and I hope you know that, I really don't show it enough. Happy Mothers Day!!


Also with it being mothers day and not being at home and not getting to see my mom came one other big let down.... I wasn't home to go over for cole's phone call. Cole's mom has been such a sweetheart and has invited me over for all of his mission phone calls home. Knowing that I wasn't going to get to be there for it was KILLING me inside. BUT Cole has the sweetest family and once the call went through on skype, Wendy called me on her phone and put me on speaker so I could still listen in and be a part of his call. 
See this picture? 
See in the bottom corner? 
See how they are holding a phone? 
yeah, That's me in the form of an iPhone. 
How great are they?
And how cute is he?
Man, I love him.


He sounded so good. I am so proud of him and how hard he has worked on his mission. The crazy thing he said though was "next time you see my face will be at Sky Harbor!" Is that insane to anyone else? 7 more months. They will fly by right? Not that I'm keeping track or anything ;)

Hey Emma Joy...what a wonderful surprise!! I thought to myself...why look at Emma's blog she doesn't really write much and BAMMM!!I found THIS!!! What a fantastic "pic-me-up" It seems trite to say thanks, but THANK YOU baby girl for making me feel loved. But just know... as I grow increasingly more insane, wigged out, stressed and irrational that I came by it quite honestly as I have been your sounding board through college....you study science, its called displacement!! sweet "shout out" to the "comrade" too ;)
