Today I had planned on meeting Pam and Lisa at City Creek with Kathy and Jodi. Things didn't go as planned but it still turned out to be a wonderful day. Kathy and I decided to meet Jodi instead at Farmington Station. That was the plan and then I another change happened. I received my sweet text from Julie this morning and another text followed asking me if I had time to visit with a friend since she was in town. Of course I had time...I would make a visit happen. I didn't tell Julie I had plans, instead I included her in the plans I had. If she couldn't have I would have still made sure to see her. I was excited for Julie to meet Jodi and Kathy and for them to meet her. I love sharing my friends with each other. I think so much of my friends and talk about their goodness with other friends and so when I get an opportunity to have them meet I take it. Julie met us at Farmington Station and so we were able to visit and have lunch together along with Kathy and Jodi.
I was so excited to see my sweet friend. Julie believes in me like no one else. She lifts my spirit every single day through her texts. She deeply cares and the feelings are mutual. I was watching for Julie and was planning on hiding behind a cabinet to scare her. But, when I saw a security car pull up with someone that looked so much like Julie I strained to get a better look and realized it was Julie. ☺ She was lost and had actually parked about as far away from us as possible. (I might have given her bad instructions...they made sense to me) Anyway the security gal gave her a ride and even though I was hiding behind the cabinet she had seen me and so we were both tippy toeing to scare each other. It was a great reunion! I love this girl! If I would have known that she saw me, I would have run out and taken a picture of her in the security car.
Jodi and Kathy were still looking around. Kathy was actually trying to decide which pots she wanted to get for Cinco De Mayo. She's funny and takes a lot of time to decide things. Kathy seriously makes me laugh but in a good way. She's a joy and very talented. Jodi was late getting out of her Harp Lesson and met us an hour later and she also got to help Kathy try to decide. (Kathy didn't choose the pot I would have) I don't feel like I ever have enough time with Jodi to really talk...I wish we had more. I like our one on one talks.
We went to Blue Lemmon for Lunch and our visits are never long enough. Especially today with Julie. I could have stayed longer but also worried about her long drive home. I decided that we will just have to meet and have a weekend to chat and enjoy each other.
My soul was filled today as well as my bucket. Some days are the best and today was one of them.
When I got home my cute grands were helping gramps pick up rocks in our field. He paid them all $5 for coming and helping him. Zaden was so cute and tried giving me the money because he told gramps he didn't want his money because he had found a "crystal" and that was all he wanted. I thought that was so cute and sweet. I do have sweet grands that are very helpful and kind. Seeing them just added to the joy I was filling already. I love how Behrenger wanted to stand with the big kids for a group picture. He giggled and knew he was being big too.
I love my life! I am content with what I have. I have realized the last little while that I am a pretty simple person. I don't need the best or to keep up with anyone or anything. I have everything I need and I'm not out searching for more. I don't even think about more most of the time. You will find dust in my house and maybe a few stains on my couch. You will find hair on the bathroom floor because it's always there. The carpets might need vacuumed and the walls could stand to be cleaned but our home is comfortable. We have more than enough. We have a wonderful family and lots of pretty awesome friends that fill our life to overflowing.
