On this beautiful Sunday evening, here are a few things I'm thankful for this week...
* A Lienient Judge. On my way to play prelude music at a stake baptism last December I received a speeding ticket. I know. I should have been obeying the speed limit. Long story short: Due to a misunderstanding (poor penmanship) on my ticket, my online driving course was not received in time at the Colleyville Court. I had to wait for a summons to appear before the judge to plead my case. I have never been in a real court room in my life! When I arrived, there were 75 other people there to plead their own cases. As my name was called, I approached the bench and apologized to the judge for my tardiness in submitting my online course. He asked me if I did indeed complete it, for which I gratefully produced my certificate of completion. He said that was fine, asked me to sign it, and off I went. Whew!! What a relief!! Now my kids didn't have to wonder if I would be calling them from the county jail or at the very least waving to them from the side of the road as I completed my 'community service'. For a Very Lenient Judge, Thank You!!
* Birthdays and Fun Memories. What a fun week it has been celebrating my sweet friend, Stacey's birthday. What I love about birthdays is that the excitement and fun is contagious to everyone. What a great time we had visiting, eating, singing and dancing. For Birthdays and Fun Memories, Thank You.
* A Fun Stake Youth Conference. This weekend, Sydnie attended her first Youth Conference. The theme for the weekend was 'That's Life'. She had a wonderful time, even commenting that the speaker Friday night was great. (Shocker...Something Posative...Finally!!!) She had fun providing service at the Community Storehouse Saturday morning. Then after lunch, 300 youth from our stake played a life size game of Life in the cultural hall. Sydnie said it was awesome! After picking her up at 11:30 Saturday night, she said she had a blast at her first stake dance. And as tired as she was, she and Mikenzie both got up early to attend an 8 a.m. Fast and Testimony meeting which she said was 'good'. As a grateful mother, and for a Fun Stake Youth Conference, Thank You.
* It's Over!! Mikenzie took her second SAT test Saturday morning. She has been studying extra hard and attending a special course on Tuesday and Thursday evenings for the past few months to get ready for this exam. I know her hard work and time spent studying has surely paid off! And best of all, It's Over!! Thank You!
* A Great Home Inspection. I am so grateful for sale of our Texas home. On Thursday, the buyers inspectors were here for over 4 hours. I think they checked out every crack and crevice of this house. Thankfully, the few things they found were very minor and will be easy to fix. For the outcome of a Great Home Inspection, Thank You!
