dreaminghopeWhat Mom taught me this weekend:
I come by my complete lack of sense of direction honestly.*
The secret to a long-term relationship is to never fall out of love at the same time.
If my uncle hadn't gotten married during a certain March break when I was a kid, my family would have gone to Germany for two weeks.
If you can't give something without expectation, either don't give it at all or make it clear what you want in return... even if it is just a "thank you".
Mom once dated a guy named Skip. She liked his friends much more than she liked him. She used moving to the Northwest Territories as an excuse to break up with him.
God has nothing to do with it: take responsibility for your own life and decisions.
Seeing the ancient cedars is worth getting lost on the highway, the long drive up the gravel road, and the breathless uphill hike.
Always be suspicious of guys who are too romantic. And having someone make pancakes for you is nicer than getting flowers.
* We got lost every time we left the hotel and every time we left any place to go back to the hotel. In three days, we never went anywhere without getting lost at least once.
