I love you Mom!

Happy Mothers Day Mom!

I’m speaking in church tomorrow and this is a little preview. The bottom paragraph is one of my favorite memories of my mom from when I was younger.

A friend described coming to house saying “love oozes out the windows.” I come from a fun spontaneous woman who has a love for journal writing, dreaming big, baby anything, gardening, watching 2 movies in a row, pools and hot tubs, good food, running, her children, the gospel and her Savior. She’s a licensed genealogist, a real estate agent, a best friend, an incredible wife, daughter, granddaughter, sister and most importantly for me my mom.

I remember one day when I was about 11 I was making cookies to take to an activity days. My brothers kept snitching out of the bowl and I was getting frustrated and called out for my mom to come save me so I didn’t have to make another batch. What did she do? She came in and started snitching right along with them giggling while she did it! When I started to get even further frustrated I grabbed the bowl and hovered over it for protection. She grabbed the bowl right out of my hands and headed for the door and started running down our street. I chased her around the entire block both of us giggling the entire way, her taking bites as she ran. My brothers stood in our front lawn cheering in full approval. I eventually got what was left of the cookie dough back.
