Another one of the many blessings I have is my ward family. Holy cow!!! They are so awesome to me. I just love going to church and seeing all my friends. They help make my week go by a little easier and more than that, they are such a support to me and my little family. Just last night, I was able to go to "Dessert Group" with some of the coolest sisters in the world. I think we use any excuse we can to get a group of ladies together to laugh and have fun. What a blessing the gospel is in my life! Again, today we had another "Craft Group" get together to make hair bows and flowers. And yes, again, I had a ball just "hangin' out" with my gals.
Earlier in the week I had the opportunity to have breakfast with one of my dearest friends, Mindi. Man, it must have been nearly 9 months since I have seen her. That is terrible to go that long without making contact with someone who has made such an impact on my life. She used to live across the street from me, and we were able to talk about ANYTHING! I love my friends so much. I have made many more that have blessed my life in countless ways.
Another example of a wonderful friend: just yesterday my sister-in-law, Ashlie, was having a baby. I got the phone call that she was just about ready to start pushing and I wanted to be at the hospital when Austin was born. So, I quickly made PB&J sandwiches for the two girls and myself, and we ate them on the road heading to the hospital. When we got there, we were informed that the kids could not be there and visit Ashlie until she was moved to another room. I wasn't quite sure what I should do, but I decided to try to call my friend, Sam. She didn't even hesitate to come to the hospital and pick up my girls so I could stay there and see the baby within minutes of his birth. Another example of the self-less friends that I have in my life.
I could go on and on and on about how I have been helped in times of need. I think my list would be endless and then some more. I just want to say to all of you -- THANK YOU!!! I love you and I am so grateful for the great examples you are to me. You make me want to be a better person and try just a little bit harder to help someone in need. I only wish I could become a little more like so many of you. Thank you for setting the bar so high, it gives me something to always work towards :)
