Good People in the World

I've had a sore throat the past couple days and finally last night I asked Kevin to stop by the store on his way back from Basketball at the church to pick up some cough drops.

He got home with the cough drops and told us the cool story of how he got them. He went to the store and realized he didn't have his wallet but decided to go up to the cashier to ask if they accepted apple pay (because he had his phone with him). When he got up to the cashier with the cough drops they had no idea what apple pay was so he thanked them, said he'd go home and get his wallet and turned around to go put the drops back. The lady behind him stopped him and said not to worry about that and that she would pay for them. I couldn't believe it! Such a kind thing to do to a random stranger at the store. Kevin thanked her and allowed her to buy them for him. I'm so thankful for that lady's thoughtfulness.

Earlier in the evening when I had texted Kevin asking him to go to the store I was debating on even asking because I didn't want to spend the money on the drops and I thought I could suck it up and not need them but my throat was hurting so bad I ended up asking. It was such a tender mercy to hear Kevin tell the story, knowing that Heavenly Father guided that lady to make that act of service towards us.

Thank you random lady in Hyvee! You made our night and helped me be able to sleep through the night! :)

I'm so grateful for this tiny yet huge act of service we received. I'm more determined to listen to the spirit and act on those moments that I am given to serve someone. You never know what someone else is going through and how much a simple act of being kind could make their day.

Third Time's the Charm..Maybe...

Last week as I sat down to go through some emails I remembered this old blog and got sucked into reading through past posts. I smiled, cried and laughed as I read through my memories over the last 4 years. :) It was crazy to read through and think about how much has changed over the years and how much Kevin and I have experienced together in the 6 years we've been married. My last post was from March of last year after a visit to Iowa. I could kick myself for not keeping up with this blog because last year was packed full of some of the greatest and hardest experiences of my life. Highlights from over the past 18 months: -We had a graduation party in Idaho for Kevin April 2017 and he officially graduated the following July! It felt so good for him to finally be done. He worked SO HARD and overcame some major obstacles and set backs.  -After Kevin walked in April we did a big trip to Utah and Iowa with Shawnii after watching her graduate with her Masters in Communication Disor...

Mid-Week Happenings/Ramblings

This week has gone by sooo slow. I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday. Rude. Anyways...Here's some random happenings/ramblings from the past week or so... Kevin is anti anything Christmas before Thanksgiving...I'm the complete opposite. We've compromised. I can listen to Christmas music but cant hang any decorations (my pinecone and snowflake garlands don't count) until the Monday before Thanksgiving. I can live with those stipulations.  We made a goal with our friend G to not eat out at all this week (we may or may not have an addiction to midnight runs to McDonalds). We've survived so far.  Last night we finally watched the movie, "The Fault in Our Stars". Holy hannah. Ugly face cry the whole time people. It was so sad but so worth it, minus the random f-bomb.  I attempted to make homemade french fries for dinner this week...oh deary...Lets just say I wont be using that particular recipe again...or attempting to make fries again a...

Sum of September

My goodness its already October! September was a fabulous, crazy, busy, wonderful month. First up a visit to Idaho... A ll my siblings surprised my parents the second weekend of Sept as an early birthday present for my mom's 60th birthday! We were missing Kevin and Arianna's husband and kids but the rest of us were able to go. My parents were so shocked and my mom cried and cried she was so happy to see us all. It was the best present we've ever given her. :)  It was a laid back weekend just spending time together. We went to a Gentri concert Saturday night,  church Sunday, my mom loves having people to sit with so we made sure to visit on a weekend so we could all sit with her, Danny and Melissa's family left Sunday after dinner, Monday we had a little day of shopping and relaxing at home, and then Tuesday Shawnii, Arianna and I all headed home.  GETTING TO DRIVE LARRY HOME FROM CHURCH!!!  The day after I got back from Idaho I st...
