The Little Life

Thursday, July 29th 2010

My Mom and I drove back home to Las Vegas today. I really enjoyed my time with her. It was nice to spend some one on one time with her and it was great to learn some things about my Mom that I never knew. Funny, just when I think I knew everything about her. I was wrong…Imagine that?! Yes, Mom…I said it “I was wrong”. I just want you to know that she is smiling as she reads this right now. She isn’t with me…but I know her. Haha…she likes to be right…and just the fact that I am wrong…makes her right.

I’ve said it before…but I’ll say it again. I love my Mom…I am grateful for her. She has been there for me…through it all. I was 16 years old when I had Taylor…and even though she made it known that she wasn’t happy with me getting pregnant, she never turned her back on me. She was there through it all…she taught me how to advocate and fight for my children’s right and for that…I’m forever grateful. Love you Mom!

Yesterday, my sister brought her friend Gonul to the beach with us. Gonul is from Berlin and this is the first time she has ever been to the United States. She is here to learn English better. It was great meeting her and learning about where she is from and her background. She had never been in the Pacific Ocean before…so I filmed a little video for her. I wasn’t sure if I was going to post it on my blog…but then I thought about it and realized that this is a blog about living…AND Gonul is definitely doing that. She is living! Traveling to another country all by herself. Meeting people, trying new things…She was so excited to see and dive right in! I loved it!!! Enjoy her excitement!

Until Next Time,
