Mother's Day

I have very mixed emotions about mother's day. I wasn't always the nicest mom to my boys, I wasn't "there" for them, I worked so much and wasn't the nicest person to begin with! I like to think I am a better person and a better mom now tho. I do my best to be a great Gramma and hope my grandchildren have wonderful memories down the road of me! Someone asked me what Mothers day means to me and I could first only think about how it was when I was a kid. My sister and I stripped Mommy's lilac bush almost every Mother's dayto give her big bouquets of flowers and made burnt breakfast for her. Lilacs always remind me of my mom. My boys loved me and gave me cards every mother's day, even burnt breakfast in bed! My mom is gone now but I know she watches over me. Happy Mother's day to all the wonderful women in my life who in any way mothered me!!

What a Day!

What a wonderful day this has been! Our stake had a track meet today and my wonderful husband Mark ran the 5K!! Came in under 42 mins and # 141 out of nearly 500 competitors!! Who woulda thought he had it in him??? I am one proud wifey!!
While there setting up our area in the stands, I see someone I think I know from a way long time ago!! I watch for a few minutes and then go over and holler her name!! Leah?? Oh my goodness,,It is her!!! I haven't seen Leah in over 15 years!! I am so excited and so is she!! She doesn't live here but is visiting her sister Tasha, We all worked together years ago when I first moved to Vegas in Morrow's nut house!!. Neither one of us were members of the Church then but the boss was. I wonder is Sallie Adair knows about the seeds she planted all those years ago! Anyway, we exchanged #s and she wants to move back to vegas area and I cannot wait to get together with her and share whats gone on in the last million years!!! I love this Church and the opportunities it gives me to make and keep freinds, old and new!! Thank you Heavenly Father!!
