This week I did something totally spontaneous and crazy! My mom and dad are moving from Oregon (the house that I grew up in) to St. George Utah in the next few weeks. My husband and I currently live in California..... So, I decided last minute to hop on a train and surprise my mom in Oregon! Boy, did I surprise her!
I mention this because whenever I am around my mom I always feel like I can do anything! She brings out a side of me that reminds me of everything I have ever wanted. From when I was a little girl, all the way up to my current state. I have had the opportunity to reflect on all that I have accomplished and everything that I want to accomplish in the future. It is such a wonderful thing how mothers can just give you the wings you need to soar high. My mom is seriously the best cheerleader around. When it comes to her kids, she knows without a doubt that they can do whatever they put their mind to, and she makes sure that they know it. And this week she has re ignited my excitement in accomplishing many things.
I realized this week that I have done so many things in my life. I haven't really stuck to just one thing. I always want to try it all and learn it all. For the longest time I didn't realize why I would do that with pretty much everything I get involved in... but recently I have been reminded. My biggest dream ever since I was little was to be a wonderful wife and mother. Everything I would do was to make that dream come true. So, I played volleyball, basketball, soccer, track, and softball. I was in Musical Theater, Leadership, choir. In college I have studied sociology, dental hygiene, medical assisting, and business. I realized that to me its not about getting a degree necessarily but learning as much as I can so I can pass that on to my children.
I want to be just like my mom.... and I am so grateful to have had such a wonderful woman to follow in the footsteps of.
