Ward Halloween Party 2012
This is year Paul was Justin Bieber and I tried to be Selna Gomez! Leah was our adorable Ladybug!
' I had the best day with you'
Last Friday, was the anniversary of my mom passing away. I can not believe it was 3 years ago, 3 years ago was the last time I would see my remarkable mother here on earth. My mom passed away from Colon cancer, she wrestle with cancer for 12 and half years. Those 12 half and years were, well I guess you can say it was a roller coaster ride. I was 7 years old when this "ride" started. I have so many memories of my mom being sick, but I love all the good and bad memories we made together.
One of my favorite times we had together, was when I had just turned 8 and the movie 'Titanic' came out, so we went to Blockbuster and rented the movie and watched it. I remember it was my first time staying up to midnight and I thought it was the best thing ever. Afterwards, we drove to Blockbuster to return it and that night was a full moon. My mom said,"Look, Jenn, it's a full moon. I want you to remember this for the rest of your life." I think she wanted us to make memories and for me to remember them, that way I would remember the good times of when she was feeling somewhat well.
Another memory was when I was a Senior and it was Spring break and during Spring Break was our Stake Trek. My mom and sister wanted to do a girls week during that break, but I wasn't sure if I should go on the trip because the Stake Presidency had a calling for me on the trek and I just had the hardest time deciding on what to do. I had already done a Trek, so I knew it would be okay if I missed it. Anyway, I deiced to go on the girls trip. I am so happy that I went on that trip. We had so much fun, we went to a beach in Malibu, got a manicure and pedicure, went to the Ronald Reagan Museum and do what the Haughts' do best, eat!
My favorite time we had together, was when Twilight came out. All of the young women and women in the ward went to the midnight showing if Twilight. Lets just say, my mom and I LOVED it! We saw Twilight 10 TIMES in theater! One of those times, we lied to my dad and told him we were going shopping, because he said Twilight is of Satan! Haha! But, we did tell him the truth after we got back:) My mom and I made the mistake of taking him one of those 10 times, yeah, that was a MISTAKE! My dad hates ANYTHING that is not true. My dad actually walked out of the movie and waited for us in the hall.
My mother and I were best of friends.My brother and his wife told their kids they were going to Grandma Haught's house and that I would be there, my nephew and niece then said,"Isn't Jenn, Grandma's friend? I hope some day, I can have that type of relationship with my own daughters.
I wish everyday that my mom was still here and she could see Leah. I know she would just eat her up. Sometimes it makes me mad that she can't buy her cute clothes, snuggle and hug on her. I have a hard time not envying those girls who go shopping with their mom or their mom's being there when they have a baby. But, I have a GREAT mother- in-law who is super helpful, she came and helped me after I had Leah, has watched Leah on many, many occasions so Paul and I could go on a dates. Renee is a wonderful grandma to Leah, buying her cute clothes from to time, kissing on her,EVERYTHING!I am so bless that Leah has her:)
'I had the best day with you' by Taylor Swift reminds me of my mom and I.
