Today has been a wonderful day to finish off a great weekend!! I really hadn't thought much about this day until it got here. Last week I wrote my talk (the first time I've written a talk before the morning of) so that I wouldn't have to worry about it while I was out of town.
On Friday morning I left home for a family reunion. :) It was a great time and I really enjoyed the little get away! There was lots of time to catch up with family that I haven't seen in a while and get closer with new family. There was good food, family stories, fresh mountain air, and good old-time country cowboy songs the first night. But my favorite day was Saturday!! We went on what my family said was a 5-mile hike. I personally think it was a mile or two longer than that. However, it was beautiful and fun!! I got to interact more with my amazing cousin from Arizona, K. She is such a cute girl! My one and only boy cousin (not counting the 2nd cousins etc.) and I talked quite a bit. I just loved that!! He is such a cool guy. He is a big part of my family and I love it! After the hike we were able to spend some time in the pool and that was really nice. K stuck with my sisters and I and we had a fun time!
All the family time was great, but my favorite part of the weekend was today!! It was so wonderful seeing all the family and friends that came out to show their support for me! There were so many people that showed up that it was a HUGE surprise!!! I really didn't think that very many people would be there! While I was sitting on the stand I kept watching and watching as more and more chairs got pulled out and filled up!! I feel so blessed and loved!
You see, I was only a little nervous while I was waiting to get up there. I was very certain that the nerves would go away once I started to go over my talk. But then... I just felt nervous the whole time!! I kept fidgeting with my ring and my feet were going crazy. Hahaha. I was sure that at any second I would feel comfortable and relax but no. Not even after I sat down did I stop feeling nervous. When my amazing dad went up to give the closing prayer I finally felt calm!! I just love him!
When all was said and done at the church, so many of my family and friends came over to enjoy some food and talk! It was wonderful! :)
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!
