a visit with mary

i haven't gotten into a rhythm with blogging this month. so this will be the first of two posts today. sara's mom, mary, came to visit over labor day. i had to work while she was here, but we were able to hang out quite a bit. we went to westminster, md to go to the biggest antique mall in maryland. the photo above is mary helping us display my ever growing antique camera collection. the best thing that i found during our trip was a film projector that actually works!! i was pumped. we went clothes shopping and to the ikea. she also cooked for us (at her suggestion) and i realized exactly how much i miss her amazing home cooked meals.

she also helped me buy and i quote, "the best looking pair of jeans that i've ever seen you wear!!"

i think the best part for me was having just a really long conversation with her one on one, which we were able to do during her visit. mary is like my second mom and she knows more about what size clothes i wear than i care to mention. :) i'm glad she was able to visit. here's a closer shot of her display...
