Wednesday April 16

I will go through all the pictures tomorrow that I took today.....

Cause I am tired and it's late, and there are a lot of pictures :)

BUT....

I had to share this one!

Brent and I went to Target to pick up some Easter stuff for the kids.

Brent had left to go find his own stuff, and I was getting some hair stuff, when I turn and look down the isle and I see Stephanie Nielson.

I was immediately frozen.

I love this woman.

I love her book....I love how she isn't afraid to share her testimony.

I love her love for her family.

She is amazing and I HAD to talk to her!

How could I not!!!!!

Actually, if we hadn't have made eye contact, and she saw the goofy smile on my face, I may have not had the nerve to say hi.

But she saw me, and I said "Hi!"

And I really don't know what I said after that......it is all a fuzzy numb blur!

I know she asked where I was from....

I know I told her that I was just talking to my sister about her just this morning, cause we were.

Talking about how amazing she is.....and how she handles everything that is dealt to her with such grace.

I remember saying, "I don't even know what to say!"

And she came over and hugged me.... and she allowed me (even though she may have thought I was a crazy woman) to take a picture of us together.

She was absolutely wonderful and kind and so sweet.

I am sure this must happen to her often, but it was a once in a lifetime thing for me.

And I must say, it was pretty cool!

She is beautiful inside and out!

*****

So Brent and I finished up shopping.....

We came back to Ems and we all got ready to head to Rachel's house.

It was great to be able to get so many family members together and have dinner and a fun Easter Egg hunt for the kiddos.

Lots of fun times with cousins....

The weather was perfect and everyone had a great time.

And I got to hold baby Kalia.....a lot :)

Pictures to come tomorrow!
