I just had the most amazing couple of days. It started when mom decided that all her daughters were going to go with her to the Van Leuven Reunion in Lindon. She started making plans and Ellen, Robin and I fell in behind her.
Since we just had the Bob Jones reunion, I have been feeling a little down. Missing those that had gone home, feeling bad that I couldn't be with Becky when she had her surgery. Missing children that I haven't seen for a long time. I was having a hard time and depression had hit bigtime.
Anyway to make a long story short, I decided to go to the reunion. We had a good time visiting and shopping all the way up to Provo. Then Robin and Ellen were doomed to ride with me around Provo, warning me of the red lights, pointing out the stop signs and enjoying my great city driving skills. We only got lost a couple of times and it was fun every time. Its a good thing they were wearing their seatbelts!! I'd forgotten how much fun we have when we all get together. Lynette and Leah drove down to the reunion and met us there. We had so much fun laughing and sharing our growing up stories. I miss having them closer. I have the most awesome sisters. Heavenly Father must have loved me a lot to give me my sisters. I'm grateful for a mom that knows when we need a lift and that family is what strengthens us. Now I'm back home and everything seems a little brighter. I'm thinking of Uncle Ivan and Aunt Jean and Aunt Ruth with a smile on my face. Chuckling about some of the stories that were shared and just wishing I knew some amazing glorious words to describe how much I love my family. If you know the right words, just imagine them here and that's how I feel!
