This last weekend my mom came for WSU's Mom's Weekend 2011. I love Mom's Weekend! I love it because it is so nice to be able to spend a whole weekend relaxing and having fun with my mother. My mom got to Pullman early Saturday afternoon and left early Sunday afternoon, which meant we got a whole 24 hours together! It was great having one on one time with her because it let just us chat, giggle, and be silly together like best friends.
As soon as my mom arrived, we went to a Mother and Daughter Tea and Spa. It was SOOOOO relaxing and the massage felt SOOOOO good and the cheesecake was SOOOOO yummy! I'm certain my mom and I would agree that this was the best part of the weekend. After we were done being pampered, we went to the arts and craft fair on campus. I love these types of things! I love looking at all the cool stuff people make. These people are creative and make some really pretty things. I got my mom and I matching spoon rings again this year. This is my little tradition for us. Last year I got us matching rings and I will continue to do so until I graduate. Next, we went to one of my friend's apartment for a jewelry party. Can you say "girl heaven"? Well just imagine. My whole weekend was a girl heaven weekend because it was tea, desserts, massages, jewelry and more jewelry and makeup. I got a cute pair of earrings at my friends party. Then we quickly took off to meet up with my other friends and their mothers for dinner. But before that we stopped at Macy's and bought makeup. At this point, girl heaven just got better because I love makeup and could not keep my hands off of all the pretty stuff. After making our purchases, we met up with the others for dinner. Dinner was good with lost of visiting and laughing. We finished Saturday off by going to a concert, but we were so tired from our busy day that we just kind of sat there watching in a daze. We did like it though because the music was relaxing. We definitely weren't up for rockin' out.
This was us at the concert modeling our new makeup!
Sunday morning we got up bright and early so that we could go to the plant sale. WSU has the best plant sale and you cannot get better flowers or tomatoes for your garden anywhere else! My mom and I loaded up the back of her Suburban with plants. She was so excited to pick out plants. We bought plants last year but not too many because she drove her little car. This year she wanted to buy a lot so she drove the Suburban, and we filled 'er up! Next, we got a quick breakfast. Then we headed to the grocery store for tissues. Except, we came out with much more than tissues. You know how that goes, right? Well if you don't that's okay, but as a warning don't ever let my mom or I lose in a store because we will buy everything. Haha! We bought candy, pop, food, and WSU gear first. Then we remembered that we had actually gone to the store for tissues. So back in we went. So that is a typical trip to the store for us. But there was this really cool basket that we took turns pulling. It was a new experience for us! A grocery basket on wheels! It was cool and I wanted it for myself...but mom said no. Once we were done at the store, we went back up to my dorm so that I could send home stuff with my mom. We had to squeeze my boxes of stuff in since the Suburban had recently become a garden on wheels. And all too quick Mom's Weekend came to an end and my mother went back home and, again, I stayed in Pullman.
