Raspberries, Baseballs, Creeps, and a Mustang

Well, it's been a little while. Why? Because I don't have much to say. Here is a little summary of the last few days. On Friday night, Sam came home and brought a few of her BYU friends with her. I was a little worried that it would be awkward time having these kids here that I don't know, but I had so much fun! We pretty much boated all day on Saturday and it was wonderful. Then they stayed for church, dinner, and indoor s'mores before heading back to Provo on Sunday. I felt like almost a part of the group rather than the little sister. They were so fun to have here, and pretty much made me laugh the entire weekend. On Monday morning, Lexi left to go camping with a friend and Mitch left for Camp Bradley. That left me and Mom home alone for the week. Good thing I like her so much! We have been having some good quality time. Yesterday, I got done with work really early so Mom and I took a little trip to Twin Falls. Mostly I needed to go so that I could get a bridal shower present. After I got that, we did a little Costco trip (I have always loved going to Costco with my mom...I don't know why). My mom loves me, so she bought me lots of strawberries, nectarines, grapes, and....wait for it...RASPBERRIES!!!! I couldn't be happier. After shopping, we went on a little dinner date to Applebee's and took advantage of the 2 for $20 deal (like we are a couple or something). It was delicious. I also love talking to my mom. She is amazing and I tell her absolutely everything. I feel like my mom and I have become very good at balancing our relationship between being a mother and daughter, and being best friends. We do both; and we do them both quite well I might add. When we got home, I watched The Guardian while washing and cutting all of my fruit, wrapping my present, and making a card (I know, I'm too productive). Then, Mom and I had some vanilla ice cream topped with raspberries and chocolate syrup. Tell me how it gets better than that. You can't can you? Today, work was just work EXCEPT I found a baseball and a blue golf ball while I was mowing today! I felt like because they were in my path, they were now mine. I realize to the average person these might not be very exciting prizes, but when all you ever find while mowing is garbage, sticks, and dead birds; it's easy to be thrilled. Also, when we were mowing a big rec area today, this creeper-looking guy pulled up in a mini van (don't be fooled by the mini van, he was a creep). He got out of his van and then stood there next to it and just watched me go back and forth on my mower for a very long time. I did not love that. He eventually got in his van and left; probably when he realized that if he tried to kidnap me, I would run him over with my lawn mower. Take that creep! Really though, someone please give me another reason why he would do that if he wasn't a creeper. That's what I thought. When I was on my way home from work, I got a text from my mom that said "Wanna test drive a convertible mustang tonight?" I didn't actually know why we were doing it, but I was excited. I showered super fast after work and we went in to Bonanza Motors to take a mustang for a little spin. My mom is thinking (not too terribly seriously) about getting a Mustang. She said she has always wanted one, and thinks it might be nice to have a fun little car to drive around in now that she's old and doesn't have to take all the children everywhere anymore. I told her she has my full support in this idea. I don't think it's really going to happen. It was fun to take it for a ride and look at all of the options online though. After our joy ride, we had some more raspberries and ice cream while watching My Big Fat Greek Wedding. I love that movie. It's a crack-up. I am going to miss days like yesterday and today when I go back to Virginia. It's nice having my mom around all the time. I guess that's part of growing up though. Nuts. Well, sorry this is such a long and boring post. I didn't mean for it to be that way. Maybe something crazy exciting will happen at work tomorrow. Fingers crossed!
Yes?

Does this make your mouth water? Type in raspberries on Google images and tell me if you can even handle it...I couldn't. I will be going to the fridge as soon as I am done here.
