Today has been an eventful day. Technically its my "first" Mother's Day. I've never really enjoyed this holiday. I've always thought that it's pointless. I shouldn't need a designated day to tell my mom that I love her. Another reason that I was pretty bitter is because I wasn't a mom yet. Now that we are expecting our first child, I'm a little bit more excited.. but I still feel like there shouldn't be a designated day. It should just be a given.
We enjoyed our day by attending church. The seniors in our ward gave their graduation talks today. These kids grow up so gosh dang fast! I stayed in my ward during Sunday School and then I left to attend sacrament with my family in my home ward. Kendal was giving a talk on mothers, and where he won't be her for much longer, I wanted to hear him speak. He did a nice job! He's such a funny kid. After I attended church, I hurried home so that we could eat lunch with D's family. We had hamburgers, frog eyed salad and baked beans. My mom in law was so sweet and bought me a new decoration that I can hang outside. It's so gosh darn cute! After we hung out with them, we headed on down to my families house for dinner.
Kendal turned in his mission papers a few weeks back. We've been patiently waiting for a couple of weeks for his call to come. It hasn't been easy! Poor kid has been so patient. Yesterday he checked the mail and it was finally here! We had his friends over and my grandma Bonnie and cousin Kobe came down from Idaho. We did a Facebook live and Instagram live post so that other family members could see it. He got called to the North Carolina Raleigh Mission! --- SPANISH SPEAKING!! He was so excited. He wanted to speak Spanish so bad. I don't blame him. He's such a good kid.

When we got home from being with my family I had a little bit of a crying session. I blame it on the baby (that's my excuse for a lot of things right now ;) but Dev says its just who I am. I feel like everything is changing so fast. I don't feel prepared for everything that is about to happen. I feel like Kendal, Jason and Lindsie are just growing up so fast and it breaks my heart. I told D that so much is going to change in the next 5 years. Kendal will leave on his mission, we're going to have a baby, K will come home from his mission, Jason will graduate, J will go on a mission, Lindsie will graduate and there's even a SLIGHT chance that L could be married too! Sean and Allie will hopefully have a kid and who knows, we may even lose someone in there too. I feel like my life as been pretty steady and constant. We do the same thing, every day, no changes. But then it was like 2018 came and its like my life just took off. I'm very emotional about it.. (that's the part I'm blaming on pregnancy!) Hopefully I will be able to get my act together and just have faith that everything is going to be okay. I hope that everyone had a great Mother's Day. I am so grateful for my mom and for the things that she has done for me. I feel like I'm quite 'prepared' to be a mom, and I owe it to her. (And all the freaking children she had! Haha ;) I'm grateful for my mom in law and for the role that she played in raising my amazing husband. I hope that all the women in my life were able to enjoy their day!
