Greatest Mom Ever!

Okay, so I know that many of you are immediately thinking that you have the greatest mom in the world. And I don't doubt that you have an amazing mom...BUT...let me just take a sec to let you know why my mom wins!

This past week was incredibly busy. There's a lot to get done and 24 hours just seems to go by really quickly! It's been a little exhausting, and so the cleaning that I've been wanting to get done at my apartment got put on hold simply because I was either too tired to move by the time I got home or I didn't have enough time!

So...Thursday was Valentine's Day. Usually not a big deal day for me except for getting together with my parents. But this Valentine's Day, I didn't get home until about 8:30 p.m. As I walked in the door, I found a little box of Dove chocolates on my stairs with a little note from my mom. It was something so simple, but I got so excited about it!

Then...I went upstairs to my kitchen and as I looked around, I noticed that something was different. All my dishes were done. The trash had been taken out. And everything was straightened up. On the counter was another little note from my mom that simply said, "Love you!" I immediately started crying...1)because I was tired and couldn't help it and 2)because I couldn't believe what my mom had done for me! She always seems to know exactly what I need and when I need it!

I love her for a lot more reasons than her cleaning up my apartment for me! But this Valentine's Day was just another reminder of how blessed I am to have the family that I have!
