So... Instead of talking about the "C" word, I'm going to share all the great things I have been a part of the last week or so.
First of all my youngest son Dylan went to his first dance which also happened to be his first date. He went to Viewmont's prom and had a great time and a darling date. I can hardly believe he is old enough to be dating now. He is such a great kid and helps make sure I'm taken care of. He has a great heart and I love him to death! Here are some of the highlights:
Cute little grandma thought he looked very handsome. |

Everyone recording/taking pictures - nice photo bomb Maddie!! |
So that was an exciting Saturday. The next day Dylan was ordained a Priest and my dad came out to our ward to do the ordination. Dylan had worn his tux to church and the Bishop said that "everyone who is ordained a Priest should wear a tux from now on." He did look very handsome and was dressed up for an important occasion.
Monday, my good friend Paige surprised me with lunch and a "foot zone". I had no clue what that even meant - but I tell ya...it was amazing! It was so nice to spend time with such a dear friend that I don't see very often but once you get together it feels like time never passed. I wish I would have thought to take a picture of our excursion...I'm bad at that and realize that if I'm going to blog about stuff, I need to take pictures as well. The time we spent together really healed my heart and soul. It was so thoughtful of her to take me out on this adventure. This is my sweet friend, she is beautiful inside and out! (Paige, I hope you don't mind I stole this off your fb page. :) )
Most of you know this about me, but for those of you who don't - I love to quilt. Thursday I was able to go to the Home Machine Quilting show in Sandy at the expo center. I went with myself which was wonderful because I could take as much or as little time as I wanted. There were hundreds of quilts and vendors selling all kinds of sewing items. This was like heaven to me. A couple of years ago I entered 2 quilts to be judged as a beginning quilter in this show. I didn't win anything, but it was fun to be a part of it. They aren't anything amazing, but here are the two quilts I entered:
I don't know why, but I love triangles...love everything about this quilt. |
Lots of fabric pieced together to make this Flamingo...love it! |
Amazing quilting |
2 things I love...COLOR and FABRIC!! |
This is my sweet friend LeEtta who went to the show with me. She is one of the kindest people I know. She texts me almost every day to check on me, takes me to appointments, brings me FIIZ, and makes me laugh. This is a picture of us right after I found out I relapsed. She came all the way to AZ to bring me some flowers - well, and of course to spend Thanksgiving with her daughter and family. I wish I would have taken a picture on our crafting escape - but of course - I didn't take a picture in our shopping frenzy. :)
Be brave, my heart. Have courage, my soul.
