"Is This A Kissing Book?"
Some movies just give you more to work with on a day to day basis. This is one of the best!

Weekend Perfection!
This past weekend was about as perfect as I could imagine. My parents rolled into town Friday about lunch time. We had a fantastic visit with them. The Boy came home to a new (to him) truck--thanks to mechanic-shop-owning-Grandparents. He loves it. (Pictures to come soon).
Then Saturday Genius Golfer played in a tournament, where he shot a 78, so he was happy. The kids an I did our regular Saturday chores, plus a ton of outside yard work and patio clean up in preparation for the family fiesta Sunday. We got errands done and spent a pretty great day together. Grandparents spent the day with my sister and her family--watching nephew #2's lacrosse game and going out to dinner. My aunt and uncle from Idaho met them at the lacrosse game and them came south with them that evening to our place. The Boy had never met them in person, so that was fun.
Sunday we had church and for our Sacrament meeting my sister and family, GG's mom and sister, and my parents and aunt & uncle joined us. Then a few more cousins, Gpa Herb, and assorted dear friends joined us for The Boy's ordination. He was made a priest yesterday. It was a wonderful group. We are so lucky to have so much family and so many friends who support and love us.
We had a terrific lunch at our place--thanks to the many who helped bring food! We all got to eat and relax and visit and listen to the older generation tell stories. Some of my favorite things!
Then, once everyone headed home, The boy had an appointment to receive his patriarchal blessing. We headed to the patriarch's home about 6 PM and spent the next hour or so with him and his darling wife. After some visiting there and getting-to-know-you type of conversation, the blessing was given. WOW! It was powerful. The Boy and GG both get weepy--only when they feel the spirit strongly. this was one of those times. It was beautiful. I was moved and humbled.
I'm so lucky to have such great kids! They have much expected of them by our Heavenly Father. But I know--and was reassured yesterday--the He is not only aware of them, but will guide them to do all that He needs them to do, if they will be obedient. I sure hope I live long enough to see all the marvelous blessings both of them have been promised. It will be tremendously satisfying.
After that event, we headed south do my parents could see my aunt's cute home in Springville. We got to visit a little more with some darling cousins and 2nd-cousins. My kids must seem very cool to these little cousins, as they became the center of attention while we were there. then we headed back home about 9:30 and mosied off to bed.
My parents left early this morning and The Boy drove himself to school in his truck. Pretty perfect indeed.
