Skype Dates..

When Dave and I were dating but apart due to the fact he lived in OKC and I lived in Idaho, we had a lot of Skype dates, it made me feel like a nerd at first but it was so fun and so worth it!! It was not as good as actually being together but it was so much better than a phone call =]
My sister Molly is on a mission in Arcaidia and we got to Skype with her yesterday!! It was so cool! I got to see her face and have a nice conversation and show her my big belly! I even got to meet her companions and have a conversation with them. It was awesome.
I guess Skyping was really the way to talk to missionaries yesterday! Everyone I have talked to said they got to Skype their missionary, rather than using the phone! Technology can really be a blessing!
This really was the best Mothers Day, even though I had to open work and work all morning.. This is my first Mothers Day. I was not sure if it counted for me but I guess it did =] I have a 'Mothers Day Rose Bush' and its starting to bloom =], Dave took me to dinner and the fights over the weekend, and everyone at work was sure to say Happy Mothers Day and they all treated me extra special hahah (The cooks even let me pick the radio station).
Chase, my manager said Happy Mothers Day when I first came through the door and I said 'Thanks it kinda counts' and he was mad I said that, he said, 'NO! It counts! Youre mothering that child inside you right now!!' I thought that was so sweet! Its true! I am!
Another Mothers Day present I got was.... Athena came into heat again! So we get to breed her! and I get to take care of her babies till my baby arrives!!  =] She gives me great practice, She has to wear diapers so I get to change her diaper everytime we go out side, and in the middle of the night. Yesterday I had to make a run to walmart cause her depends we bought her were not fitting right! Thats real life. Time to get used to it =]

ANYWAY.. Im so glad I got to spend Mothers Day with my mom, and (skyping it) with my sister Molly =]] (and my other sisters, and Dad, and husband, and nieces and nephews). It was nothing less than PERFECT!
