WELL HELLO JAMES ARTHER!!!

This week my mom came to visit Mon, Tues, and Wed. We had a blast; we hung up all of my IKEA buys from about a month ago so now my kitchen is uber organized and very posh if I do say so myself. We went shopping and found dresses for the upcoming wedding of one of my cousins Ryan and his fiance Angie. They get married on Oct. 3rd here in Lincoln. I'm super stoked for that weekend because Eli and Katie get to come out and see my apartment and I just love spending time with my whole family. I always love the conversations our family has when we get together; there is always so much insight on God, Music, Movies, Politics, and futures plans we're praying for. I learn something new from each of them every single time we get together.

ANYWAYS BACK TO MY MOM

After we shopped and channeled our inner Bob Vila and drilled a bunch of holes in my walls (some used and some now mysteriously hidden) we ventured out to the James Arther winery. Wine tasting has become something that our family really enjoys and I can honestly tell you that this winery trumps them all. It's on beautiful land with amazing trails that take you throughout the vineyard and up to the top of a hill to unveil these majestic views of the countryside. However the best part was the actual wine tasting. I can with out a doubt say that there wasn't a wine we tasted that I didn't like. They were all ooooooooo so good. Plus she gave us practically a half a glass for each wine, so we felt amazazazing. No truthfully we were totally fine but it was soooooo much fun. After we tasted the wine and bought them out of their entire stock, we took our picnic of grill salmon, baguette, Nebraska Cheddar, and an apple up to the top of the hill and sat on swings and had a wonderful lunch with a beautiful view.

I can't tell you how much that visit from my mom meant to me. I love her so much and she is truly my best friend. I miss both of my parents a ton and was really starting to get homesick. My parents don't know this but I would often cry after I would get off the phone with them. Recently I have just felt really lonely and to have her around to hang out with and do stuff with meant the world to me.


LOVE YOU MOM!!!
