Hey, Mom. How are you? I keep getting really behind on talking to you. I think about you daily, but I’m so unmotivated to write to you. Changing that today because I have news to share.

I’m official!

I took my oath to be a notary public yesterday. I am officially a public servant. I guess my love of stamps is one of the reasons becoming a notary felt right. Also, my company offered to pay for it, so how could I turn it down? I get my stamp next week. I just hope I don’t go crazy making everything official.

I went to Cherryville last weekend to go through some stuff. I came home with a box of pictures of me. Perhaps Ramsey will like those when she is older. She enjoyed seeing Jennifer, Austin, and Jade. We did a day trip, and right before we arrived home, she asked for them. I’m so glad she feels a closeness with our family. She doesn’t talk about you. I think it makes her sad. But I talk about you to her because I always want her to remember you.

On our way home from your house, Cliff and I stopped at our new favorite taco place in Asheboro. I know you wouldn’t have liked their food, but I managed to turn a bittersweet road trip into a foodie delight. It will make going to Cherryville worth it if yummy tacos await my trip home.

Jade shared with me that Austin asked her to be his best man. That is so sweet to me 😍. I’m so happy he did that, and I’m glad they have stayed so close over the years. I was trying to help her come up with bachelor party ideas, but I’m not good at that. If you were here, I’m sure you would come up with something quirky to add in. I’m trying to channel that funny, quirky, Nana thing so that we can all have a laugh about it. Maybe I can find a similar blue dress as the one you always wore for occasions.

Anyway, just wanted to share the news and talk to you for a moment. I miss you so much.
