This past Mother's day was the first Garrett and I have shared together. It was so fun and Garrett made it such a great experience for me. I have to brag because well Garrett was really cute and spoiled me by buying me pink tulips. If you know me, I am absolutely crazy about tulips. Anyways, you must be thinking, why did she get flowers when she's not even a mother. Believe me I was thinking those exact words, but when I asked him his reply was so sweet and priceless that I must share.
Tami: Garrett, why the flowers I'm not even a mother?
Garrett: Because you will one day be the mother to our future children and you take care of kids all day, whose mothers are working. So basically you deserve these flowers just as much as any mother out there :)
Tami: AHHH... Your sweet, Thanks! :)
What a great holiday it was and were both very thankful for our wonderful mothers. With my mother only being a few miles away, the family took her out Saturday night for a yummy steak dinner, and we gave her an ipod. Which she loved! For Garrett's mom, since she doesn't live near, Garrett talked to her and when she comes down in June, we have a present for her. Now I will share a few words for my mother and my new mother in law.
To my mom: Thank you for giving me life, because we both know it wasn't an easy process. I'm thankful for you strength to always keep going, no matter what ever trial your going through in life. You truly are an inspiration to me. Your a great mother and even better Grandma! I'm thankful for you in so many ways and I'm glad your my mom. Always remember I will love you forever and like you for always!
To my new mother in law: Thank you for raising a wonderful son, you did a job well done. You taught him to cook and because of that we don't starve! You taught him to read and helped him when he struggled. Because he was taught to read, he was able to read the Book of Mormon and gain a strong testimony. I thank you for that because it blesses my family.You demonstrated patience in your home and taught him to never swear or use harsh words and those are qualities that I love about him. Thank you for being such a good mom to him.. Your hard work paid off!!!!
So with the gift cards that Garrett and I had left over from our wedding and since everything we need has been purchased. We both decided to take those extra cards and buy us something fun that we would both enjoy. It was mostly my idea, but I know Garrett enjoys it just as much as I do, possibly more! What we did was we bought a patio set that included cute pillows and lights to hang up outside. It's like our own little get a way. It's so perfect and with the lights lit up at night it provides such a calming and relaxing environment for both of us to enjoy together.It's been so much fun and it really gets its use since we live in Arizona and can use it all year round. Late night talks, yummy dinners and breakfast at 6am to watch the sunrise. What a wonderful thing to have to enjoy together. It's our new get-a-way and we love it and can't wait for more wonderful memories shared together out there!
