Mother's Day....February 2008


Not to far ago I had one of those days I will never want to forget in my life. I can't believe it's taken me this long to write it on my blog.
I was thinking of Mother's Day coming up tomorrow, and I was thinking what was one of my greatest "motherly" moments this year and one special evening with my son Shawn came to my mind. You have no idea how many days and nights I have thought about documenting this moment, this was indeed a night I never, ever want to forget.
Before Shawn started in Management with T-mobile, he was the top agent here in Boise, so there was a huge award dinner he was invited too, along with other agents that performed well during 2007. They called the agents the top ten. My Shawn was the best of the top ten, lol. Shawn was dating at this time, but he asked me to be his date for the night to this amazing ceremony. It was held downtown Boise at the Grove. The first room was a nice cozy room where we gathered together to meet other people and enjoy some yummy appetizers, they had yummy shrimp, salsa, meatballs, chicken wings, drinks, etc. It was very fancy. We took pictures, and I ate and ate. No one told us that there was more food coming, and the appetizers were so good we had quite a few. Next thing, they ask us to move to another room... oh my gosh! we were greeted to loud music as we walked in, the managers had lined up and we entered this gorgeous room all fancy decorated were we were supposed to have dinner and they were to give away awards to their Top Ten Employees. The food was amazing, We both had the steak dinner. The decorations were all done in Black and hot pink. When they called my son to receive his award people cheered and it was a very joyous time for me as a mom. Son did not only received and Ipod, gift certificated and award, but for being the best they had rewarded him an all expense four day trip to Vegas, all paid, including accommodations and entertainment, and even money. How can I ever forget this day. I have the feeling there is more to come, since I have five children, but this was the best Mother's Day gift ever. Shawn, thanks for opportunity I have to be your Mom. I love you son.
