Special Moments

Today was a really good day.

First thing this morning I got an email from one of my oldest friends (I think we've known each other since we were like 3 or 4) telling me that she and her husband are working towards going to the temple and asking if I would be her escort when she went through for the first time. What an honor. I was so touched that she would ask me, even though we haven't always kept in touch, and aren't as close as we may have been in the past.

Then at church for our Sunday school lesson, I cut out those paper dolls that are all strung together (you know what I'm talking about, right?) for all the kids and they colored them in. I told them they could color their friends at school, or their families, or the class, or whoever they wanted, and when they were done, they had to stand up and say who they colored and how they could show those people they loved them. Each string of dolls had 3 little people for them to color. One of the girls in the class ran up to me when she was done to show me what she colored, and she had colored herself in the middle with Nick on one side and me on the other.

Its moments like these that melt my heart and make up for all of the hardships, all the stress, all the worry, all the bad days. I love days like today.
