Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to our moms, grandmas, sisters, and friends who work so hard at raising their children! You should be honored every day, not just on Mother's Day, and we hope all of you had days where you felt valued and cherished.

Now let me tell you about the wonderful Mother's Day I had! Although I am not a mom (or a mom to be), Noel wanted to honor me for being a "mother" to so many people at Fuller. I believe our job as Community Coordinators has brought out a bit of a maternal instinct in me, as I love caring for our neighbors (especially the single folks with no family around), preparing meals for them, and spending time with them. It's definitely a fun, rewarding, yet challenging job.

In honor of that, Noel surprised me with breakfast in bed. He gave me a menu with 4 items to choose from and I chose waffles. They were delicious (I told him no more excuses about not knowing how to cook!). He also bought me a new 3 wood to complete my golf club set. I did not move my clubs out here when we came to CA, but decided last fall that it would be fun to have them. My dad shipped them to me, but my 3 wood was missing. It's my favorite club (I use it instead of a driver) and I have not been able to play yet since I refuse to play without it. No one seems to know where it disappeared to. Anyway, I now have what appears to be an incredibly nice, brand new 3 wood and may even hit the course one of these days.

I really had a great day and am so thankful for Noel's thoughtfulness.
