Random Kindness

Yesterday, my mom and I had a few errands to run.  While we were out, we decided to stop at Del Taco for a couple tacos.  After we got our food, we notice three little boys waiting to order.  Mom and I sat and watched them...

What made us notice them was they were counting their money that they had between them.  We watched them for a few minutes while they each individual ordered their food, then passed their extra change the one received to the next, carefully counting out what they had.  We noticed that they each ordered a tiny $.75 quesadilla.  When mom and I saw what they were doing we decided that we were going to buy each of them a drink.  But Mom got her money out first....which is totally okay with me!

When the boys were done ordering their food, mom walked up to the counter and ordered three medium drinks.  By the time she got the cups, the boys had sat down with their food.  She walk to their table and said "Here guys, here's a drink for you to enjoy!"

The looks on their faces were priceless.  I sat and watched as this with so much happiness...

I say kudos to those who choose to do a Random Act of  Kindness.  Even the littlest things in life make a huge difference when least expected.

I have decided that I really want to focus on doing something for others.  I may not be able to do something big like I would really like to, but small things add up to big things...right?

A Special Day

I was invited to a baptism Saturday by a friend from high school. I got to know her, Tammy, more after high school because she married one of Josh's oldest friends...

I was so happy to go to her baptism. I was just so happy she thought of me. When I walked in I saw another person who I went to school with as well, who I haven't seen in years! Jennifer lived down the street from me and we were in the same ward...

Tammy's baptism was one of the most spiritual baptisms I have been to. The music from the very beginning touched me like I hadn't felt in a long time...

It was so nice being able to catch up with old friends....

The three guys are missionaries who taught Tammy. Tammy is in the middle holding her baby. Jennifer is to the right of Tammy with her daughter in the stipes skirt. And me to the left of Tammy. 

So Who Says I'm Not?

This beautiful mound is all my bedding... There are 7 pillows, a king down comforter, a duvet cover, and a set of sheets in this mound. Not pictured is the feather mattress pad that's on my bed...

The story behind my mountain high bedding is...this girl needs a comfortable bed! When I was growing up, my mom would always say that I was the Princess and the Pea! When I was young, I was so excited to get a new double bed. However, that bed was hard as a rock! I always complained about my bed to my mom or any bed that was uncomfortable (hotels & motels included)! She would say  that I'd always find the pea in any bed! 

Well she wasn't wrong! To this day, I still complain about uncomfortable beds that are hard as rocks, flat as pancakes, or make me feel like I'm in a taco she'll! A comfortable bed, in my opinion needs to conform to my body and feel like I'm floating on a soft billowy cloud...

And lately, I have a thing with having my bedding smell fresh! I love to wash my bedding every couple of weeks because I want the fresh smell and cleanliness of a fresh bed...

This is my bed after it's been made. My favorite place to be snuggled my doggies (I'd say my kids, but they're not much into snuggling these days since they are all older, but they still don't mind sleeping in it when they can!) I forgot to mention, they love my bed just as much as I do! They refuse to get out of bed some mornings because they are so cozy in it....

So yes, my mom was right! I am a self proclaim Princess and the Pea! One must  have a comfortable bed to enjoy a fabulous nights sleep!
