"Come what may, and love it!......Yet in spite of discouragement and adversity, those who are happiest seem to have a way of learning from difficult times, becoming stronger, wiser, and happier as a result." ~ Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

and this one's about Heidi.

Heidi is one of my friends.
A good friend.
Definitely worthy of the title best friend.
She's been an instrument in answering prayers of mine.
She came over tonight. She just showed up out of nowhere.
My house was dirty and I hadn't showered for the day.
Heath had a meeting at church and was leaving soon.
She walked up and said, "What can I do? I came to pickle your cucumbers and I have jars in my car if you need them." (something like that anyway)
She played with the boys, giving me a break.
She picked up my toy filled living room while teaching my children.
She cut up all the cucumbers and pickled them for me.
She swept and picked up my kitchen, emptied my dishwasher and (if that weren't enough) she watched the boys while I took a shower. AND after all that she asked me what else she could do.
I love that girl. Really, I do.
Oh, and wait, wait, wait...She's also 28 weeks pregnant and works full time.
I'm sure she was probably tired after working all day and had plenty of her own things she could have tended to.
She thought of me and my little family and my messy house and my cucumbers and my casted up little baby.
What a friend. She is as great as she sounds.
Hope you have a friend like her.


This is the only picture I can find right off hand but you can visit her blog HERE.
