As she does multiple times a year, but this time was different. She came to Utah just to visit ME! I was so stoked that everyone I saw or talked to on the phone this week heard about my Mommy coming to town. The best part was that she had no reason for coming to visit other than that she missed me and I invited her to come (technically, I invited both Mom and Dad, but poor Dad had to stay in Cali and do bishopy stuff. Mom came without him anyway!).
She drove up on Friday, skipping work to get here sooner (which made me even more giddy). I was able to get all of my homework done before she drove up. I was getting in my car to go to Walmart for a Halloween costume, literally as she drove up the street. Luckily I saw her before I drove away and quickly jumped in her car instead and away we went! I was able to find a cute costume at Walmart that I needed to wear to the Trunk-or-Treat that the Institute was putting on that night. I quickly changed, allowed Mom to take my picture (she has it on her camera, so no picture for you, sorry), and away I went. Mom visited Janet while I was fulfilling my crazy calling at the Trunk-or-Treat. When I got home we stayed up talking till way late.
Saturday, we got up and went back to Walmart for cereal (apparently it's half the price here than in Cali). On our way out of the parking lot we got stopped by SHEEP! Again with the sheep! Mom was so excited that she pulled the car over, jumped out and started snapping pictures. Then when the sheep were out of the way, she proceeded to follow them down the road to get close up pictures (isn't my mom awesome?!). Again Mom has those pictures, but imagine hundreds of sheep just moseying down the road. It's pretty epic.
Once Mom had stocked up, we headed to the SUU vs. UCDavis football game - which amazingly enough, we won!
Look at how happy we are!
We won!!
I had to document it cuz it doesn't happen often
The rest of Saturday was spent shopping. That night we went out to dinner with Cindy and Becca (she had gone down to St George to visit friends and stayed the night with us). Again Mom and I stayed up way too late talking :) She left early Sunday morning for home. It was awesome to have Mommy come! I have been so busy with school and Institute Council stuff that I haven't had a moment's peace. Her visit was very muchly needed! Thanks for coming Mom!! Love ya!!

Katie,
I love this post. I mean, I LOVE IT! Why? Because our moms are sisters, and my mom would do the same exact thing - with the hopping out of the car, camera in hand, to snap pics of the sheep.
Gosh, that Ball blood is pretty great stuff.
Congrats on getting your very own Mommy visit, that's so awesome! I love the pic of the two of you at the game. What a fun weekend!
