My Favorite Visitor

My mom left on Tuesday. She was here visiting for a solid week and it still wasn't long enough. I don't think I believe there is such a thing as a "long enough" visit with her! It was so nice seeing her every morning on my way to work and knowing she'd be there to greet me when I arrived home. The words "see you after work" are just great in my opinion!

It's hard to encapsulate all that we accomplished in a week!
We did some serious shopping at Loft for new work ensembles. My fridge and pantry are totally stocked. And my car had a full tank of gas for the first time in a long time.

But aside from completely spoiling me we just had so much fun! Seriously aren't moms the best of friends? We had nice dinners out where we solved most of the world's problems. We had lazy dinners in front of the tv watching Miss America and Real Housewives. Poor Peter, though. I totally left him to his own devices all week. He did meet us for lunch one day at our favorite french bistro before we hopped back on the metro onto our next activity. We blogged and drank tea. We saw Beauty and the Beast in 3D:

We went to church and worshiped together. We visited family where we got to be silly together playing "Just Dance":

Again, it was just not nearly long enough.

Oh well, it just means she'll have to come back and visit again soon. And she can bring my dad and the dog and maybe sister can come up too! Hey, here's an idea! Why don't we all just agree to live closer to each other? I think I've mentioned this a time or two before....
