How was your day today? Oct 10-16

Tuesday was the schools temple day. I didn't want to miss work, thats one reason we went to the temple on Saturday. There was a lot of service going on around campus. I helped weed outside the lofts. I then went out to lunch, stopped at Food Lion, and then went to work! :) 

I woke up at 2:30am to 22 text messages from one Emma Atwood. I adore her. She is one of the strongest, funniest, determined people I know. I wish everyone could meet her!

The fog has appeared!

This popped up on my facebook feed from a year ago. I love this post from Kadee!

I was having one of those 'eh' days on Thursday. I went to work and was absently playing in the sand box when one of my little boys said, "Miss Lauren, How was your day today?"

Tears sprung to my eyes. In the words of Kadee, "Christ works through little kids too". It is so true. I needed that simple question. I needed to know that even a little three year old could be aware of me. I love those kids.

SVU got a new friend!

hehe. My friend Anna who I work with, told me that it remind her of one of our kids at work and it totally does!! He just flings himself around, exactly like this green guy!

PIZZA. Some days you just need Pizza. 

My family came on Saturday!! I picked up my Dad on Saturday morning and we met Camille and Mom in Lexington. We ate at Pronto's and just laughed and laughed. I love families and inside jokes. We went to the SVU football game where the weather was beautiful! We took naps and went to dinner at JJ's! Yum! Afterwords we went to the Shenanigans show. Thank you family for spending a very SVU Saturday with me!

 

 

Sunday as a Relief Society Presidency we talked about friendship and how that is what Visiting Teaching is. President Thomas S. Monson said, "Every day of our lives we are given opportunities to show love and kindness to those around us." Show kindness! Do Visiting Teaching! Its super important!

Also, I realized I failed to talk about General Conference a few weeks ago. Wasn't it great? Conference is amazing. I thought Women's session was incredibly powerful. We were definitely told how important it is to have a bedrock foundation in this very perilous time. I loved the talk on Charity. Charity is so important in a world full of hate. Again, always be kind!
