Going back in time! and BFF'S!

Last Sunday, my phone rang. It was Ashley, a girl in my ward. She wanted to come talk to me. She came over and asked me if she and her friends (6 total) could eat at my house for the fall dance at school. Her mom hurt her leg and has to have surgery next week. I was thrilled to be able to help. Ash was going to bring the food, and then we got talking about my lasagna, and the Ray's love my lasagna, so I told her I would just do it. It took me back in time. First of all, Ashley's Grandma, Sister Ray was my Mia Maid Advisor. We were so crazy then and I feel sorry for her now, but I have so many cherished memories. There was quite a large group and we had a blast.

Second, When my little brother, Kent was in high-school, I would do this for him. It was like going to a restaurant, but it was free. I served them just like I was a real waitress!!!!! I can still see him sitting there, with my little card table in the living room. I LOVED doing that for him.

And third......All my kids.........I LOVED all the times the gang came to my house or I helped at someone elses house with a dinner.... I miss it so much. I was so glad she asked.....it helped take my mind off OTHER things.

So I was talking about this with Jana and Debbie. (R.S. Presidency BFFS) And they jumped in and Jana decorated. She is amazingly talented!!!!! And Debbie did some Favors. Beautiful. I am so blessed to have great friends. This is the decorations. She brought EVERYTHING from home. She even came and did it while I was at the cabin. Ryan let her in and he told her she should do this for a living.....he was impressed!


Bad picture, but these are the favors Debbie did. The kids LOVED them. They had candy, mints and chapstick in them.

These are the kids that came. They were so appreciative! Ash is the one on the right. LOVE HER!

Ok, now I want to talk some more about my overflowing heart. I don't know what I did to deserve what I have received so far, but I am so grateful. I have a handful of friends that have called and said, "I HAVE SET ASIDE NOVEMBER 26 AND 28 FOR YOU. (SOME FROM RUNNING BUSINESSES) I WILL DO WHAT EVER YOU NEED"

Debbie came and took 75 favors for the luncheon and she and her daughters did them yesterday. I can't believe this. So much love and support. So many have called to see what they can do. I am overwhelmed with all of this.

I have not been there to help others at weddings, because I guess I didn't realize what went into them, but, boy these friends have taught me a lesson. Thanks Friends! I am touched!
