Okay, now back to my life. Saturday was a really fun day for me. I along with 5 of some of my best friends from High School got together for dinner. Some of these ladies I haven't seen for years on account that they moved out of state while their husbands went to school or worked in different areas of the country. Well we're all now back in Utah so we thought it would be a great time to have a reunion. It was so much fun. We sat for over three hours just talking, reminiscing, and enjoying having an evening away from our kids to just be "with the ladies." It was like no time had passed at all. They are just as amazing and fun and talented and beautiful as they all were in High School. I felt a little like Alma the Younger when he meets back up with the sons of Mosiah in the book of Mormon. The thing he was most happy about was that all of his friends were "still his brethren in the Lord; yea they had waxed strong in the knowledge of the truth..." (Alma 17:2) This is just how I felt while I was with these women. They were amazing examples to me back in High School and influenced so much my testimony and wanting to choose the right. And now here we all are as wives and mothers, and the light of Christ just shines through each one of them. It is living proof of what living the gospel can do. They are all happily married to amazing men, they serve faithfully in their callings, and they are teaching their children the gospel. It is these kinds of women that are changing the world for the better! I feel honored to call all of them my friends, even though it has been years since we've been together. They will never know what an influence their examples have been on my life. Not only are they spiritual giants, they are so much fun! So I hope that we don't wait years again to get together again. I love you all!
