I certainly got spoiled this year for Mother’s Day! Dan let
me have Saturday “off” to enjoy some ME time. I started the day by running the
Mom’s 5K Run on Daniel Island. That’s the first time I had ever run on Daniel
Island in a race and it was quite beautiful! The weather was just starting to
warm up, so the run was pretty comfortable. After the race, I headed over to
Sullivan’s Island to meet some girlfriends for a relaxing MOMMY ONLY day at the
beach. Seeing as the 5K was at 8 am, I got there about 2 hours before they did.
It was nice to lay out and enjoy the quietness of the beach, the birds and the
morning. I am currently reading the Hunger Games and there’s nothing like
reading on the beach!
My girlfriends showed up and we laid out, talked and laughed
for a few hours before heading over to Taco Mamacita and enjoying an ice cold
beverage. It was a nice getaway for the day! I headed home and Dan took care of
Little Man while I continued to relax and then we all went to bed early.
Sunday, Dan surprised me with a new IPhone! I was totally
against switching from my Droid, but once this little devil was in my hands, it
was all downhill from there! I LOVE it! I called directly and got it switched
over and we spent the day on and off playing with the new phone and Siri.
We attended church with my Mom & Granny and we Mothers
were treated to a super yummy lunch at Granny’s house! All the men folk (Dan,
Mark, Uncle Danny & Clay) fixed us a BBQ (curiosity of Hudson’s—YUM!!!) dinner
with all the trimmings. It was quite delish! And we didn’t even have to clean
up! It was very special to be able to spend the day with our family and Mothers
& Grandmother!

I have been very blessed to have such an amazing Mother. I’m
sure during my teen years I hardly ever expressed it and during the death of my
Daddy my Mommy got the brunt of my anger. I can’t even imagine how to start
repaying her now for her everlasting love and patience. She is my rock and
there is no one in this world that could be a better friend to me. I hope I can
continue to show my love and appreciation for all of her years of support and
love in the hopes that one day she may realize just how much she means to me! I
love you Mommy! Happy Mother’s Day! And thank you for my gift.... It's a constant reminder of your love for me!
