Sweetest Sunday

We got up this morning and I made some hootinany for breakfast.  It’s eggs, flour, butter, milk and salt.  Dad & Michael were nice and told me it was good after they ate one piece but then they both said there was no way they were going to eat more.  We all got a good laugh out of how bad it was.  Then I had Mom cut Autumn’s bangs for me b/c they were getting too long.  After taking a bath, she decided that she was going to play hairdresser to Mom, and of course Mom LOVED that.  She loves it when anyone plays w/ her hair.

Autumn & I came home and got cleaned up to go to church, and then Michael came over and we all went to Mom & Dad’s ward together at 11:00.  It was AWESOME to sit next to Michael in church and feel like a family.  I was so content and full of joy.  Autumn was even good and behaved herself.  She was so excited to go to nursery, so Michael & I went to Sunday School and it just felt normal and comfortable and natural to be sitting next to him w/ his arm around me and my hand on his leg.  I didn’t know that I could ever feel so happy and peaceful.

We came home after that and relaxed.  It started raining outside and we were just sitting on the couch talking.  I took a mental picture of that moment and froze it in my mind so I can remember it forever.  My world has been completely changed in the past 2 weeks, and all the hurt and pain and sadness that I’ve been through in the past two years has been completely erased.  Michael is so good to me and treats me like a princess…I know that sounds lame and cliché, but it’s so true.  I don’t have to worry about playing dating games w/ Michael…he says what he’s thinking and feeling and I do, too.  It’s so refreshing to be dating someone that I can be myself with, and to be dating someone that knows what he wants out of life and has ambition and that is open and honest.  He makes me so happy and I know I make him happy, too.

After a while, he left to make the 2 1/2 hour drive home, b/c he has to be back to work super early tomorrow morning.  Two minutes after he left, I was already missing him.  Thank goodness for modern technology so we can text and talk on the phone everyday.  Anyways, it was the best weekend I’ve had since I can remember.
