The Mo Fest

Well I made it there and back. It was nice traveling back to my hometown and in a way very nerve racking. I forgot about the highways and traffic and stupid people on the road. All in all it was a great time!

Where do I start. It was quite overwhelming really. Finally meeting Hubba and Bou and seeing Mo for the first time in over a year. The festivities were very fun and well planned by Mo's college roommate and best friend who I will deem Tally 5-0 (heh, heh).

I can't tell you how strange it is walking into Mo's new digs. I am so used to Mo living on her own in her usual space who is now owned by Sissy which was also weird on a totally separate level. Mo's new place is so beautiful and I can see so many touches of her in it and it felt so comfortable and at ease which is totally Mo for those that have had the pleasure of meeting her. I also had the pleasure of staying with Sissy in her new digs which she has molded into her own and her new place looks amazing. I am so proud of her, sometimes I feel like the big sister :) Sissy has done such a great job of furnishing and decorating her place. I felt equally relaxed and at home in her space as well. Not to mention her company, I always have a great time with Sissy.

I don't think I can get over how much Mo and Hubba are alike. It was quite fascinating really. I would very much like to adopt Hubba as my Mom. She was so warm and inviting and gives the best hugs ever! I can see exactly how Mo has inherited her strength, intelligence, and quick wit from her Mom. Bou was totally opposite of how I thought she would be. I imagined an older version of Mo. Bou also has the quick wit but in a more reserved way and she radiates intelligence and wisdom. The type of person you can really just sit back with and have a great conversation with but who will also crack you up when you least expect it. Just seeing these three women in the same room made me smile. Such beautiful strong and intelligent women. It was so nice just being around all of them at the same time.

I'm sure you will hear much more from Bou and Sissy about this weekend. I can't wait for the big day and for Spurs to meet Mo's family as well. Thanks to Mo, Hubba, Bou, Tally 5-0 and Sissy for making me feel so at home and welcome. I had a great weekend!
