MOM

Should I even say anything else, I think the word MOM speaks volumes alone! It has been 7 months since my mom and I last saw each other last - way to long if you ask me, way to long! A month or so back we finally got her flight booked and began the countdown to her arrival in NJ.

Last Wednesday we picked her up at the airport and the fun began! We took her to our favorite pizza place for dinner on Wednesday, caught the matinee on Thursday followed by Chicken n Dumplins for dinner, Friday morning we dropped Chris at work and headed to the outlet mall for some shopping & then had Omaha Steaks for dinner, Saturday we snoozed and then walked around Ridgewood and had Chicken Fried Steak for dinner, & Sunday we worshipped at Brooklyn Tabernacle, had lunch at Max Brenner & relaxed the afternoon and evening away - just taking in the last bit of time together! I love her so much! Its like detox this week to get back to life as we know it. She is a great mentor to me, my best friend, my free counselor, my nieces & nephews Mimi, my husbands fantastic MIL, a fabulous chef, & most importantly a lover of Christ! I seriously could not wish for more - she is the whole package people!

Thanks for taking time out to come see us, we loved every second of it!

I agree that seven months is too long....it had been a year for us when we went back to Lubbock at Spring Break. That is way too long! Glad you had such a good time!!!!!
