- The funny things she says. Like yesterday, when she was telling me how the customs people went through her entire purse and all her luggage, she wanted to tell them that there was a dirty tampon in there. Ok first of all, who says that? My mom. Second, LAUGH out LOUD.
- That she calls me her darling daughter.
- That she supports me to no end. When I thought I should go to Bozeman she was with me. When I decided to stay home she didn't fight it. When I was accepted to FIDM she was nervous but so excited. When I chose to stay here she was so happy that I wasn't leaving her.
- When people are mean to me she suggests ways for me to be better than them.
- I like to use the phrase, "I'll pee on your car" when someone pisses me off. She once told me that she'd help.
- The fact that she told me, "You're going to be a teacher. I don't care what kind of job you get when you graduate. Someday, you're going to be a teacher. It might not be in a class room, but you're going to change some kid's life." Awww, maaaaam.
- How much closer we got after what she calls, "the accident."
- That she told me she loves going on missions trips with me, and will still give me money to go, even after I'm married.
- That she secretly steals my things, and that I secretly steal hers. But I don't like the fact that she is a size zero pretty much.
- When Evan told her he wanted to move to Denver to work with Compassion, she told him he wasn't allowed to take me.
- That she pressures me into making decisions about my wedding. Because otherwise shit wouldn't get done.
- That she pressures me into eating sushi and loving it.
- That she's classy.
- That she makes a shit ton of money and no one would know because she is one of the most giving and loving and responsible people in the whole entire world.
- When I used to ice skate, she would sit on the side opposite the bleachers and not only play everyone's music, but "coach" me and tell me I was doing a shitty job and freeze her buns off to say it.
- She bought me a freaking couch one time because I had no furniture in my apartment and I had been her personal chauffeur all summer long.
- She is making me thoughtful gifts for my wedding. Like a homemade cook book and Evan and my personal thoughts and sayings for each other. But it's suppose to be a surprise. =]
- That she will answer my calls when she's in surgery because we have this rule that we cannot miss each others' calls. And she doesn't get in trouble because that hospital owes her its life.
- Tonight, when I told her there was a spider in the kitchen, she gladly killed it. Maybe I wouldn't say gladly, but as in, she killed it and didn't have a mental break down. And she offered to kill other spiders, when or if, I find them.
- My mom and I used to play games when I was a kid. One game: I'd say, "Mother!" and she'd say, "Daughter!" We'd play for hours. Another game: "Rooster, Hen, pull it!" You point to the forehead, then chin, then pull on the nose. I'd do this for days if she'd let me. And finally: I'd scream, "MOMMY!!!" And she'd scream, "RISSY!!!"
- Uh, how about my parents are paying for my whole wedding. Actually my mom is. My dad doesn't really know what is going on.
- This is a direct quote from 2 summers ago when I was dating a baseball player because I'm stupid.
- "What is a designated hitter?"-Me
- "He is a great hitter. Can hit about anywhere."-My mom
- My mom cooked Ev and I an entire Thanksgiving dinner. All I had to bring was veggies. Love her.
