My Weekend with Kenz

Kenzi and I during Easter
I traveled to Logan this weekend to spend time with Kenzi. She had a dance competition on Saturday so I went to be supportive. I got there Friday around 2:00 thinking I would have a couple of hours before she got off work to shop at places she really doesn't like to go. I was in Hobby Lobby 10 minutes and she called to find out where I was. She bounced in the store and it was over. We went to the campus to turn in a paper her end of the year project on eating disorders and then checked in to our hotel. We lounged and then went to eat. Sat. was the competition at 8am. We had a big break so off to the mall and grocery shopping. We also did 5 loads of laundry and then we made sandwiches and fresh salsa at her apartment and watched "Golden Girls". Her very favorite thing to do. She said "see mom just like at home... this is what I do all the time. " Shes so funny. Just a couple of years ago I would have never thought she wanted anything to do with home. But I'm wrong. She really does like home and me and we're good friends. We laughed and had touching moments. I love her. It's great to have a daughter that you can be friends with. She's finding herself, living life and trying to figure it all out. She's one of the best things in my life.

You guys look BEAUTIFUL! It's so true about how great it is to be mother/daughter friends. It seems like the second I moved away from home, my mom and I became best buds!
