mama mia!

Since both of our significant others have been across the country since April, my mom and I have been hanging out more. We enjoy meals, watch chick flicks and sometimes go shopping (if you know my mother, this is completely out of character for her). She even let me drag her around NYC for a whirlwind day - and didn't complain {too much} when we only took one cab ride the entire trip.

I'm so happy that we've had this time to build upon our relationship and hang out more. 

Happy birthday, mom!
