Super Mama

You know the saying you can't pick your family but you can pick your friends?? Well I was lucky enough to get both when God gave me my mom! She came to visit me last week and we had the best time ever. Everything went perfectly. I was really sad because I wasn't going to be able to pick her up from the airport, she was going to have to take the shuttle all the way to my house and then have a friend pick her up and get her on base because I had to work. Turns out I was able to get off work with just enough time to get to the airport and get her!
When we got home, Mona was so excited to see her! I'm not sure if she was more excited for the extra petting, or the new smells! I swear my mom was only here for an hour and my house was spotless.. SPOTLESS!!!! I've lived here since August and have yet to really clean this place! She is amazing! I had the best food ever too! Whole wheat rolls, cheese logs, banana bread, enchiladas. I cant even remember what else. When I got back to work after she had already gone home, I told everyone how much she cooked and cleaned for me. They were shocked. I guess I've really taken for granted having a super mom all these years!
It was one of the best weekends ever!!
I love you Mama and I miss you!
