I'm grateful that, somehow, I've been blessed with the skill to really impress adults.
This is nice in instances when I need to register for classes and the one I want isn't available, but I can email the teacher asking for help, and they email me back saying they'll do anything they need to do to get me into their class :)
Today I got a facebook message from the AMAZING photographer who did all of Brooklyn's wedding things.
She took the picture at the top of my blog
Seriously, she's amazing. AMAZING. Her name is Whitney Lewis and not only is she an amazing photographer, but she's just such a fun person! At Brooklyn's wedding she let me hold her camera and gave me photography tips and just sat and chatted with me.
A week ago, last tuesday, a doctor told my aunt that Uncle Mark would never wake up, never speak again, and basically be in a vegetative state for the rest of his life. He told her, "it's not like he's just going to wake up one day and say 'hi'."
Well guess what?
Yesterday, HE WOKE UP!
Would you like to know what the first thing he said was?
"Hey."
And then he went on to answer questions, mostly yes or no, but he was talking.
And when one of his friends was leaving, he asked, "do you have to go?"
In your FACE, Dr. Kevorkian!
I'm so grateful for the power of prayer and fasting! I know it brings miracles to our lives!
ALSO I watched this this morning and almost died. Amazing!
I love her hugs I love her funny smile I love how polite she is, always saying "please," "thank you," and "abacawa" (you're welcome) I just love her so much!! And...
Surprise! Baby girl #2! She doesn't have a name yet, but I feel fairly confident that this time around we will be getting a Hailee Jr.
The thing I'm thankful for today is the reason I didn't blog yesterday
Yesterday I got the opportunity to go down to Provo and sing in the choir for Elder M. Russell Ballard's fireside.
The choir was through the Logan LDS Institute and it was 1,100 people!
It was an amazing experience, the last eight weeks of rehearsals, all culminating in that wonderful fireside last night where we got to share our testimonies with people all throughout the world by singing praises to our Father in Heaven.
I love being "Miss Hailee" more than anything in the world. I love the two girls i work with, Charlee and Isabel. I even love them when they are grumpy and when they cough their little germs all up in my grill and get me sick.
