Tomorrow is Mothers Day and this is always a fun day because I have the best Mom! She also happends to be one of my best friends! I remember vividly while I was pregnant with Lola that when I would share with people that we were expecting a girl, and THRILLED to be having a girl at that, some peoples responses struck me quite oddly... I heard things like "yikes, watch out for those teenage years!" or "relationships with daughters can be tricky" or "boys are so much easier to raise...." Despite what people said their was just no dampening my joy of having a daughter! I didn't even listen to what people said about the what the typical difficult mother daughter relationship is like because I had my own first hand and very different experience of this relationship to base my excitement from! My Mom hasn't just become my best friend as I have grown older, she has always been one of my best friends! Whether coaching my high school cheerleading squad and staying up all night choreographing dance routines in her bedroom together, or planning my entire wedding together, we really enjoy everything we do! The first person I call when I have exciting news to share, need advice, feel happy, sad, worried or sick is my Mom. We talk everyday on the phone at least 5 times, (really!) the first time usually being at least an hour. : )
I am so thankful this Mothers Day for my Mom, she truly is an amazing woman and I am SO glad she is my Mom! I am very blessed to have such a great and special mother daughter relationship to model Lola and my relationship after! Lola and I are very close and I believe we will always be that way thanks to the way I was raised.
I also have some exciting news to share! : ) Our newest little addition to the family (due in August) has been named! I have announced on Facebook that his name will be Logan! What I haven't announced is that his middle name will be Lee, named after my Mom! :)
Happy Mothers Day Mom! Love you tons! :)
