Girls Night Out and Mom's Birthday

What a fantastic weekend!! Ashley, Jessica, and I decided to have a GNO on Friday and it was SO fun! We went to "17 Again" and it is now my favorite chick flick. It is so cute and such a feel good movie. Then we hit up "Chili's" for molten cakes. We ended up staying until 11:30 then we realized we were the last ones in the restaurant and that they had closed at 11. We continued our girl chat at Ashley's house and didn't stop chatting until 1 in the morning! I haven't stayed up that late in years, but I absolutely loved it. It rejuvenated me, made me so grateful for Clark, and for good friends.

Saturday we celebrated my Mom's birthday by helping her plant trees in her yard. When she moved in, it was all rocks and tumbleweeds, but she has beautiful plans for it. She's planting lilac & rose bushes and elm & spruce trees. Next year we'll put in grass and a garden. Here's Amy, Clark and Laura digging in the dirt.

I am so grateful for my mom. She always sees the bright side of things and gives me hope even if life gets hard. She is beautiful inside and out. I love how we have the same taste in books, movies, clothes, and even lotions. She has taught me so much about love and life. I love my Mom!!

Yard work is just that: work! But it's great to see the progress, don't you think? We do GNOs here every once in a while, and I love them as well, though we don't stay out that late.
