Mother's Day.... on this day day for many years I did not want to go to church and ended up crying in a bathroom stall more than once after talks about mothers droned on and on. I love the chance to thank my mom and make it a special day, and also for my family to do that for me! But it's also a hard day. I remember the pain of wishing I was a mom so bad and having no way to fulfill that desire. And even now I wish I was a mom with 3 kids. I wish a lot of things. But I'm also thankful for my sweet, special daughter and the chance to be her mom. And also for my wonderful mom who has been there for me no matter what and I know would do anything for me. It's just an emotional day.
We wore our matchy skits I made (well, helped make--thanks again Jacqui, Cheryl, and Chandra!! :), and while I originally had bigger plans for fancy matching hairstyles, last minute travel plans changed it to this! Which was still fun. Ashlyn thought it was so neat that we matched. She pointed it out to me like 20 times at church.
Collin made me dinner....and at my request bought some gourmet cupcakes. Here are 2 of them, with a pretty face as well.
And of course we couldn't end the Mother's Day post without some Mommy-Ashlyn selfies. Lucky me hanging out with this sweetie every day!!

Ashlyn kills me in those selfies! She is getting prettier and prettier. And I love those skirts you made. I can imagine Mother's Day is rough on many moms, or hopeful moms. I ended up being asked to speak on Mother's Day. Who asks a mother to speak on Mother's Day?! It was rough, but I made it through. Seriously, I think it is one of the most tear-filled Sundays for reasons across the board. So you are not alone there.
