Mothers Day

Happy Mothers Day MOM!

Disneyland 2010

I'm a day late on posting but I have a good excuse. I was in Orange County with my in laws on mothers day and didn't have my laptop. :) I really did want to write some thoughts, memories and feelings down though especially about my mama. She is the BEST and since this is like my journal it is in need to be written down.

- I LOVE that I got my mom (& dad) to myself for my last years at home (not that I didn't miss my sisters tremendously!) My mom and I made such good memories with cruises, random trips to Utah and Cali, Disneyland, running errands together, shopping, going to lunch but it was just me and her and I love that and will cherish that forever.

-She is always there for me no matter what. If I called her at anytime and needed her....not only will she be a listening ear on the phone but she will also be on a plane in 2 sec if it was needed.

-She is always sharing her testimony with us and others. I know my mom loves the gospel and it has always been taught in our household on a daily basis. I love that she spends her Friday mornings at the temple working.

-Dave always teases that the worst thing about the Reimschiissel girls is that we can't say NO. Which is obviously a compliment ;) Really though it is because we learned service from our mom. She is ALWAYS doing something and keeping herself busy helping others.

-Can I mention her good looks! She is absolutely beautiful and looks like she is 25 and one of my sisters. I sooooooooo WISH that when I am at her young age that I look like that! PLEASE PLEASE can I get that gene?!

-She is always striving to improve and learn. I remember in high school her going back to school to take classes and I may not have said it then but I was so impressed and proud.I thought it was so cool. Also I have good memories of us taking piano lessons together and it was fun to practice together. It made me want to do better seeing her example.

-She has so much patience. I know that I had lots of ideas when I was younger and she just went along with them. A funny memory I have is when she would take me grocery shopping. I loved running errands with her. I know I asked for everything down the isle but then when we got home I had to play cashier. So before she put anything away I had to line it up and check everything in and add the beeping noise. So she just waited and put things away one by one until I was done playing. Now that I think about it...how annoying haha

I could go on and on and cry some more talking about my mom! She is seriously the most amazing woman and I am truely thankful I got her. I don't know where I would be without her and her example. She is my best friend (I talk to her at least once a day) and is alot of peoples best friend I know. I just try and soak up everything from her cause I want to be just like her when I get older. I just hope I can be a mom to my future kids like she is to me. I LOVE YOU MAMA :)
