Blessings...

Blessed today!
Got to spend time today with my best friend-my mom-just the 2 of us! Our 3 boys were gone, 2 of them are in Uruguay on a mission trip and the other one was out with some friends. We were able to go to lunch at a restaurant where the main food sold wasn't either steak or hamburgers. Olive Garden was our restaurant of choice and we got to go shopping afterwards. Our conversations without our boys are totally different. It wasn't about cars or guns or the next project we have to work on at home. It was kind of nice, but I am already really missing my boys!
A few blessings happened at church today...Always so good to see the people that I love and who I know love me! Love the big smiles and hugs I get from "my kids" when they first see me! Why can't they always be little and so adorable when they see me and their first reaction is to run into my arms with that big smile of theirs and tell me how much they have missed me even though they have seen me just the day before! Love it!
I had a dear, dear friend of my family come up to me and hand me $100. He said "I know you graduated from high school a while back, but I didn't get you a gift. I know you are about to leave and go back to Dallas so I wanted to give you this gift." He then placed $100 in my hard. What?! Who does that? So awesome and so blessed!
