Taken with the cell phone-missing my camera
tried to steal these from Leslie-but they are small
The following story is a side note that looking back just shows my own stupidity. Those who know me know most of the time I run about 5-15 minutes late. I was running 5 minutes later than I wanted when I left my house for the party, but should've been there on time. I even debated stopping at the store on the way there but I wanted to surprise Leslie by being on time. I didn't keep her directions to the party like I should've but I did go online and print them out. Unfortunately I couldn't get the map to print out and John had loaned our GPS to the new sister missionaries but I was pretty confident with the area and not too worried about it...until an hour later I was still driving in circles knowing that I wasn't very far away but couldn't get a hold of anyone on the phone to help me. I eventually backtracked and even tried to follow the directions and I still got lost. I even had to stop for gas, and at one point tried to convince McKenna who had to use the bathroom to use a port-a-potty or to even squat on the grass. She doesn't have an issue doing that in the backyard so I'm not sure what held her back...maybe the cars driving past. That would be a good thing. :) We did eventually make it there, but I was a lil embarrassed and so close to just turning around and going home.
McKenna became my own personal cheerleader and sensing my distress she asked me what was wrong. When I told her I was lost she responded, "It's ok Mom, just try again." I don't know where she hears or learns some of this stuff, but it was exactly what I needed and even made me smile.
