It's times like these when I wish my Mom would have a computer and Internet and we could chat about our days. Maybe it's something they should think about doing for themselves for Christmas. Hmmm..maybe something I should mention to them next time I talk to them. Last week I called Mom on Skype and wanted to try something new and I conferenced Dad into the call. It's been my goal to call and talk to them together as I call Mom more frequently than I do Dad and miss my conversations with my Dad. It's also difficult getting to chat with Dad has he heads off to bed quite early because he gets up for work sooo early. I have to make a point to call early. I think Dad was getting a bit frustrated with the conference call because there is always a slight delay when using Skype and he tends to be a bit inpatient. It's always a special moment when Dad comes to pick me up from the airport on my trips back to the States. We are able to share those first brief moments of me arriving back than anyone else has yet to experience.
So, back to the whole reason of this post. Here are just a couple of pictures of Mom & I. Can't wait to be home for Christmas!! I miss our weekends when she would make the trip over to MN and we would "power shop" for an entire weekend for Christmas. We would basically get all of her shopping accomplished in one weekend and we would have so much fun together!!
This picture was taken in May of 2007. I made a surprise visit back home to go to cousin Ryan & Lisa's wedding and we didn't tell Mom I was coming home. It just so happen to fall during the weekend of Mother's Day too. It was a really fun weekend!
Miss you Mom...See you soon!!And I was rummaging through photos tonight I found this one that's probably one of the BEST photos I have with my parents. This was taken the Christmas before I made this life changing journey.
