when we moved away to CA, my mom said her goal was to still see us every
1-2 months...we laughed, but now we are seeing that she is a woman
of her word! since moving here four months ago, she has already
been out here three times, and we've been home twice..lucky us!
i love that we live only an hour flight away, so it's not too crazy to visit!
another amazing thing i realized is that ...
everywhere i have ever lived, my mom has come to visit:
everywhere i have ever lived, my mom has come to visit:
- she came to visit me in france when i studied abroad and saw my french school, my apartment, and met the family i lived with..
- she came to visit when i lived in DC and we saw every monument, all my favorite restaurants, i took her on a capitol tour, and more.
- when we lived in LA this summer, she came with my dad and we went to the beach, rode bikes, went to the dodgers game, and she helped us set up our apartment there. {and got lots of froyo with us}
- she came for an epic visit when i lived in london where she came to see my offices at parliament, and then we went ALL over europe just the two of us.
- now that we live in california, she has come to our teach for america
classrooms, met all of our friends, taken us to our favorite restaurants,
and explored SF and the bay with us.
i am so lucky to have a mom who is so involved, interested and loving.
i love that she knows our little life out here so well and
is part of it although we live apart.
the point of all of this is...last night she arrived again for another little visit!
we already love having her here helping us decorate for christmas,
going out to eat with us, going on runs, shopping, chatting, etc.
my dad gets here tomorrow morning and we are heading down to
monterey with them before they leave on a trip all the way down the
coast to LA. we are so lucky to have them here!
