Such a great day

Today Don and I went to Tri-Cities.  It was such a fun day.  I love love spending time with my husband and getting out of the house.  We did some shopping and even went to lunch.  WOW.  Doesn't happen much but it was great. 

We were on our way out of town when I got a phone call from my mom telling us that someone had hit the mailboxes and completely wiped them out.  They were all over the road.  The neighbor was going to call the cops because they didn't stop.  The officer said it had to have been a huge vehicle.....probably a semi....because of the damage.  The scary thing is that we waited at the end of the driveway with the kids until they got on the bus.  The mailbox is VERY close to the bus stop.  The bus came at 8:30 and my neighbor heard the loud crunch noise about 10-15 minutes later.  PEOPLE....that could have been my three kids.  I thank God it wasn't.  I feel blessed and realize you NEVER know.....you don't.

On our way back from Tri-cities I got a text from someone in our ward that coaches a girls softball team.  She said a set of twins on the team couldn't play anymore and wanted to know if Mayah could play.  They had already paid for it so there would be no cost.  Don and I had to think about it since it is on Monday and Wednesday night.  We decided we could have FHE on Sunday or Tuesday. 

The other tricky thing is that they had a game tonight.  TONIGHT?  We wouldn't be home from Tri-Cities until 5 and I needed to have her at the field at 5:30 for practice.  Mayah has never played softball before and didn't have a mitt.  And I didn't know if I would be able to get her one by the time she needed to be there.  Oh and it couldn't be just any mitt.  Mayah is left handed.  YIKES.  I was a bit nervous.  I remember seeing a mitt at goodwill a few days before so we decided to head there. We only had 10 minutes to shop before we needed to go to the field.  I said a quick prayer in my heart.  I figured if we found one she could just use a right handed glove for one day until we could figure out something else.  I was so so excited when I found a mitt. It wasn't the one I saw previous but it would do.  We grabbed it and headed to the register.  I was so happy when we got up there and it rang up half price.  YES...I love getting a good deal. I am cheap that way.  Then Mayah was trying to figure out how to get the glove on.....remember she has NEVER played.  She got it on and then I realized it was a LEFT HANDED glove.  NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!  How could it be?  I think it was a miracle.  I don't believe in coincidences.  I really believe it was an answer to my prayers.  And I was only five minutes late getting her to the practice they have before the game.  Mayah did awesome.  She hit the ball twice.  The first time she held on to the bat while she ran. It was pretty dang cute.  All you could hear from the spectators was DROP THE BAT...DROP THE BAT.....

I love that girl. She is a hard worker and kept asking me the rules all the way to the field to make sure she would get it all right.  We forgot to talk about dropping the bat before running.  LOL.  

After the game we headed to my brothers dental office so I could clean.  PHEW....Wednesdays are busy busy busy.  But it was such a good day. I could really see that Lords hand in today.

I love my Savior.  He is so aware of each of us.
