Its my Mommy's birthday!

Here's to you Mom!


So we just had a huge ordeal where Jeff got a new job that took us back to St G, then another new job that took us back to Cedar City. I really enjoyed hanging out with my mom. Its so often that being the night owl I am, I dont have alot of company before I crash into bed. I liked it so much that when I left (Im not kidding Mom) I cried when me and Jeff laid down that night. Ok people, I have moved across the freaking country without crying. I drove up the road a little and cried myself to sleep (At 21 and married).

My mom knows a little more why this leave was a little more difficult, but thats awesome mom and daughter stuff, isnt mom ;) I just really care about you and youre happiness

So that got me thinking of all the times I plopped right back in the nest.

1st- "moved out" -kinda- to Florida for school... that was fun but gosh I was 18. Kinda hard to spread my wings $9k in debt :)

2nd- Moved back to Mom's after FL. Emily was huge, so glad to be back with my family and my mommy after such a hard year. Really went through some crap when I got back so I therefore turned into a punk and moved out on my own. Which was cool until...

3rd-MOM TO THE RESCUE! Quit my job and couldnt even afford the $200 bucks I was paying Tommy and Tonya. Wasnt quite ready to move in with Jeff, so I moved back in with Mom! Gosh SHES PATIENT! But then me and Jeff got engaged and moved in together and got married.

4th- Jeff's store closed down, but he got a job in St G. Kinda silly to live in Cedar when we both work in St G so Mom to the rescue again!

So I have made the leap 4 times!-!-!-!



So anyways Ive had my mom on the brain this week. She's really outstanding. She's very patient. I love her very much. I know you hate birthdays, but its your day, so have at it. Im so happy her nest is always open! (and the next time I come to your nest its with German Chocolate cake, so maybe I can earn some of that awesomeness youve given me for so long)


Love ya!

Bicycle races are coming today!

So Jeff has been talking about getting a bike since we got together 2 years ago. We werent living together soon enough in summer and then we were too busy this summer. And obviously living in the frozen tundra of Cedar City doesnt inspire bike-riding desires. And not to mention, every time he asked me about whether I wanted a bike I said nah. Theyre unstable and I probably wouldnt like it. I hadnt ridden one since I was 10ish.

So now that we are staying with my mom we found an old bike in her garage that worked great. So a few days ago, Jeff rode the bike to the park and strolled along a little behind. Once we were at the park, I asked if I could just... try it.

Fast forward 5 miuntes... me laughing as I peddled past him as fast as I could to go faster down the hill. Freaking loved it! I went back out later that day, and again that night with Emily. And went today for a long ride. Its freaking awesome! Why have I deprived myself for all these years!


And yes. I wear my garter and black thigh highs when I go too.
