We had a fantastic holiday season....super busy but super fun! Lots of great memories! With 4 kids, a husband, a house to clean AND my new calling in Young Womens it's felt super hectic so the blog has been left in the dust! :) TODAY however I went to check my mail and found a package from my friend Christina from high school. We have reconnected thanks to Facebook and it's been so great to chat with her. She lives in Boston! She saw my post about seeing Angel Moroni being put on the new Oquirrh Mountain Temple and told me her brother was involved in building that and her family was there to watch that day too. Apparently they were able to get some remnants of the granite that was used to build the temple and gave them as gifts for Christmas. She got one for me! I will always treasure it because it has been such a neat experience for our family to watch this beautiful temple being built AND because it is from an incredible friend. I am amazed as I look at my life-today and back over the years-at the incredible people my Heavenly Father has always blessed me with for friends. I have grown so much and become a better person because I have ALWAYS been surrounded by incredible people!!! I think that is the blessing in life is feeling absolute gratitude for everyone you have ever known-for a minute, for a day, in high school or now...we really are molded into who we are because of who we know and the experiences we get to have. I learn so much from everyone around me. Thanks Christina!!! You made my day!
