{Heart Attack}

Did I give you a heart attack? I'm actually going to update my blog!

This Valentine's was grandma's first without grandpa. We thought it would be fun to show her the love.
When she was at her neighbor's, we all snuck into her yard and heart attacked her.

When she came back, she was so happy she cried & hugged all her valentines.

The rest of Valentine's Day was kind of crazy for us. After talking about our business in Parker over dinner, (I know, not the most romantic conversation, but hey it's a write off) Dustin nervously asked me how I would feel about moving back. I burst into tears. Not so much because I didn't want to (although I didn't) but because I had been having random thoughts about it for the two weeks prior--which were quickly pushed aside as soon as they came. I really think Heavenly Father had to soften me up some in order to get me to say I would be willing to move back if we needed to.

The next day we had Stake Conference. Our Bishop talked about how when we receive revelation, which we felt we had, each on our own, we have to respond by obeying in order for it to keep coming. And then the clincher-the hymn was "I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go, Dear Lord." The choir sang "Be Still, My Soul", which I really needed to have happen. I cried through every talk, and the Stake President came in and taught Young Women's, and of course everything he said I could relate directly to our situation even though it was meant in a different way for the girls. I was sold. We knew we needed to go. Not what we had planned! Yet in every situation where we obey the Lord, we have been blessed in ways we can't imagine. Is it selfish to be hoping for the blessings this will bring?

Yeah, I thought so.

It helps me understand my 11-yr old son better and how he will only do his chores when there's a prize at the end (Wii, friends, etc). I'm just in it for the immediate gratification. Hopefully soon I will do it because I want to. Every day I get a little more excited for our new adventure.
