Well, all the puppy dogs ended up getting along alright. We had to watch Wrigley and make sure Chewy and him kept their distance. It was a fun weekend with Steve's mom Lisa here. Every night we all sat down and had this amazing dinner.
On Thursday my good friend Jac and her husband Isaiah came down with their adorable baby girl and had dinner with us. Jac and I were college roommates when I was playing soccer at Idaho State. Jac and I were catching up on our lives and how crazy it is that we are all growing up and are at different phases of life. It felt so good to visit with both of them and what our plans for the future. That night as I was getting ready for bed, I felt so grateful for my friendship with both Jac and Isaiah. I am blessed that our paths crossed because they are some way rad people.
Friday at work my boss and I were chatting about how great and marvelous the gospel is and how people handle trials in their daily lives. When I was first diagnosed with my heart condition I ask God Why? Why me? What have I done to deserve this? There were some days that I wanted to give up, but the people who saw me struggling and reminded me to keep my head in the game. I am thankful to those people that had strong connections with God with I doubted Him. I prayed and prayed and asked God what am supposed to learn out of this whole thing? I knew that the answers to prays doesn't come when I want them, but they come in God's time. Slowly but surely I started to understand that saying and my patience for God's timing grew. I started to feel His presence more and more and soon enough I got the call. I wouldn't trade any of my trials that I have been through because they have shaped me into the person I am today.
That night my parents came over and we had a dinner. We played corn hole with everyone and visited. I know I have been saying this a lot, but another thing that I am grateful for that my in-laws and my parents get along with each other. I cannot imagine if they didn't. This might be strange to say but, I think that when all my heart stuff was happening, they didn't have a choice to not like each other. They just all came together with their strong faith and bonded with one another. Okay, Iam done talking strangely now. Actually, one more thing, my family is pretty bomb, so blessed for each of them.
Saturday was Lisa's and Uncle Bruce's birthday. We woke up and went on a hike up Neff's Canyon and then we went to brunch at Rye's for Lisa's happy day. Hung out in the backyardfor the afternoon and off to Aunt LoLo house for Bruce's 80th birthday bash! Bruce is one funny old fart and I love him so much. Bruce is LoLo's step dad and LoLo is my mom's best friend from way back in the day, so that makes her my aunt :) so Bruce is my grandpa. A little family tree for you. Over at LoLo's I met some people that told me that it was nice to meet the person that they were praying for. The power of prayer is so strong. One of my favorite quotes says, "When life gets too hard to stand, kneel"
