dear mom:

dear mom: i love you.

a lot.

coming home to utah is always a treat.

but, spending time with my mom is an even a bigger treat.

we are best friends.

being away from her is tuff, but it isn't until i'm with her

that i really realize just how much i miss her while i'm away.

we are the same person.

i love that about us.

we have the same taste, love the same things,

buy the same treats, laugh the same way, do the same things.

we have a unique relationship. 

i'm so lucky to have such a close friendship with her.

certainly, she is my mom;

she provides guidance, advice and motherly love.

but, she is my best friend.

i tell her my deepest secrets, and she tells me hers.

we have a whole week of just us.

{lovebird is still home working and taking his finals.}

we can finally go to lunch together, run errands together,

shop until we drop {which we already have done}, sit on the couch and chitchat,

read our books together, and drink our diet cokes.

all without having miles between wishing we were closer.

it will be a week free of texting and phone calls because we'll be face to face. 

it's going to be a good week. 

however, any week is a good week when your with your mom.
