Today is a great day!! Not only is it Mothers Day, but it is also the great day that I get to talk to Will. I just got off the phone with him and man is he doing good! Im so proud of that kid. All my life I have grown up knowing that Will was watching my every move and looking up to me as an example. For the first time in my life I feel the times have changed. I look up to him in so many ways. He is serving a great mission in Florida right now. It sure makes me think back on the great memories I had on my mission. I am grateful for a family who raised me in the gospel.
I am also very grateful today for a great mother. I love my mother to death. Before my mission my mom and I would but heads on alot of things. I always loved her but like alot of teenagers and their mothers we didnt have the greatest relationship. Then I served my mission and alot of things changed. A mission taught me alot of things but more than anything it helped me realize how much my mother had prepared me, not only for this great time in my life but also my entire life. Just as Helamans Stripling Warriors, "We do not doubt our mothers knew it" (Alma 56:48). My mother taught me well so that I would be prepared for the ups and downs of life. Thank you mom for all you have done for me and our family. I love you!!
I know this picture is a little blurry but has always been one of my favorite pictures of me and my mom.
I must say I have a pretty great life right now. That was one of the reasons for starting this blog. I am horrible at writing in a journal so consider this my journal. I want to be able to look back on this time in my life and remember all the great things. I have a great job as a server out on Bald Head Island and am finally starting to make some good money now that the tourist season is starting. It summer which means wakeboarding starts now!!
