Today, February 24, is my mom's birthday. She would have been 47 today. My mom, Karrie, passed away on March 21, 2003, she suffered from a pulmonary embolus (a blood clot in her lung). For the most part I have moved on with my life, but there are certain days, memories, pictures that cause the wound to open up again. Today is one of those days.
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if she were still here, I think that she would be proud of who I have become and what I have accomplished. There are days when life doesn't seem fair, I find myself asking why isn't she here? Why isn't she here to experience this with me or support me when I need some advice or help? But I soon realize that these questions get me nowhere, that they just cause more pain. I just have to remind myself that she is gone and that I need to accept that, but I know that everything will be ok. I may not always have my siblings to look to for comfort or support, but I do have Spencer, who I plan on spending the rest of my life with. I also have some great friends, Jamie and Lindsay, who I can always talk to when I need to vent or get something off my shoulders.
And that is about as emotional and sappy as I get, but it was nice to get that off my shoulders.

Date Night
Last night Spencer and I went out for 'date night', we originally wanted to go to Noodles and Company for dinner but it was closed for the night (the water heater wasn't working or something). So we decided to try Cafe Zupas, which was next door. OMG it was sooo good! I highly recommend that everyone goes there! I had the Ultimate Grilled Cheese, which had muenster cheese and pesto sauce on it, delicious! I also had a vegetable and bean soup, and Spencer had the mushroom soup, both were very good. I was excited to find a new restaurant! We also went to the mall and I bought a cute new dress, check it out at: http://www.charlotterusse.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3879578 (it won't let me copy and paste the picture). Next we went and saw the movie "When in Rome", it was pretty goofy but I liked it.
I Love Date Nights!!
