Mom's are the best!

24 hours ago my Mom and Liana showed up at R apartment after driving across the state from Tumwater, WA. They arrived with a truck full of goodies intended to help spruce up our bare apartment. While I figured my mom was bringing a 'few' things I had requested, I suppose I should have known my mom better! After coming back to my apartment from a 3 mile run, my mom had already nailed 2 clocks, picture frames, a book shelf and a mirror on the wall! Along with these things, she had put together a tool box for Ebay and I so we know longer have to use a water bottle for a hammer! And this was the beginning...

She had purchased a 9 piece margarita set for us complete with a pitcher and 9 glasses, surprised us with a vacuum as well as a broom...and then continued the decorating and nailing of holes from 9:00 pm- 11:00 pm (hopefully the neighbors weren't asleep!). Lastly, after I had re-arranged my room about 6 times in the past 2 weeks, my mom came in, moved some stuff around and made it absolutely perfect!

This afternoon, I came back from class only to find a vase full of flowers (that she cut from apartment bushes), more frames on the wall, a nice floor rug to add color to our living room, some Tupperware, light bulbs and batteries. My mom was super mom once again...she was here for less than 24 hours and turned the apartment into a home. It turns out that all R apartment needed was the help of a mommy :)

She has already headed back to the westside but left Liana here to experience a bit of the Spokane summer with the college graduates! Tonight, Claire, Joanna, Emily and Ebay are accompanying us to El Sombrero for some yummy Mexican food :) I am so excited to have my sister here...and this is the LAST weekend of the summer where I will have homework because next week is my last week for summer term!
