The crazy month of April we celebrate the person who has known me the longest. Literally, she had known me the longest. She was there for my first everything. My first breath, blink, cry, kick, and I don't really want to know what else. She is beautiful, kind, supportive, blunt (when I need her to be), and just wonderfully awesome.
Meet my lovely mom, Margie.
I know that there are a lot of people who say that their mom is their best friend and they they tell their mom almost everything. My mom really is! Her and I go to do so many fun things together. She is a very big reason that I got into classic movies, theatre, and music. We have different tastes when it comes to these but she is at the root of all of them. My first dvd hat I got for my movie collection was for my birthday and it was Grease. The first theatre tickets I got she got for my birthday which was The Wizard of Oz. I mean when I wanted to by the Collectors Edition of the 70th Anniversary of the movie The Wizard of Oz she told me that I should and that shouldn't worry that I was spending the money on it cause I loved it.
Mom and I also love going out and seeing new things. If it's related to movie stuff it's even better because we both get to nerd out. We went to Atlanta a few years back and we went to the place that Margret Mitchell lived with the wrote Gone with the Wind we got to see some movie props and got to see a lot of fun pictures. We love going to some new places to eat or just hang out and chill. We watch a ton of movies on TCM.
Mom is also one of the biggest supporters. When I started doing these challenges in 2016 I told NO ONE. I didn't want to tell people how many movies I was watching or anything like that. I didn't want people to think I was weird. Now, I also didn't lie. When mom asked what my plans were or what I had done that day I told her I saw a movie. She caught on that I was watching a lot of them and then asked me about it. When I got to my 100th movie she bought a cookie cake so that my family and I could celebrate that I watched 100 in a year. She always asks what I am doing and where am I going and who with, even though I don't live with her anymore. I feel like that I have seen her more in the last three years not living with her than I did the last three years that I did!
However, I think one of my favorite adventures is one that we (usually) do every year and that is seeing Brad Paisley in Concert! That is a tradition that we stared in 2014 when I got tickets for her for mothers day! She was so excited! We love Brad Paisley! When we went to see him we loved it so much that mom ready my mind and suggested that we do it every year. We didn't get the chance to do it in 2020 cause well... it was 2020. I am hoping that maybe we might be able to do it this year but we will see if he tours near us and if we can go. There are lots of things in the air right now with stuff so I am hoping that by 2022 we will be for sure back to seeing him in person! Those trips we always have fun on.
My mom is also super funny. She loves to make sarcastic comments to people and watching her do it to my other friends is always fun! In March mom dislocated her finger while we were cleaning the church and I had to run her to the emergency room. We got there and into a room really fast, which was amazing. I actually got to go in with her and we ended up laughing so hard and making jokes about what she had done the stuff came in to check to make sure we were ok. I guess we were being too loud laughing. It's always a great time with her.
I am so happy that God gave me such an amazing mom. I don't know where I would be or who I would be without her. She is amazing woman who I hope I can grow up to be like one day. I am praying that someday soon we will be able to go out and do fun adventure again! I know that not everyone has a great relationship with their mom but I love that God gave us a great one. I know that we annoy each other sometimes however I don't think I would trade her for anything in the world. Love you!
