Sniffles, Flowers, and Love

This past weekend I went with my friend Austen to volunteer at this thing called Friday's Kids. It's a thing put on in different locations in Utah every Friday where parents bring their special needs children to be babysat while they go out on a date night -- what a WONDERFUL idea and SPECTACULAR blessing to be had by everyone involved! I got assigned to an adorable 2 (maybe 3) year old named Joslin, and she was just super cute with blond-brown hair and pretty blue eyes. Joslin is the youngest of 3 (her brother Bryton 12 and her sister Avery about 7), and they all have something called Fragile X Syndrome...which is kind of like a neighbor to Autism. All the kids that were there that night were just so adorable and precious. I look forward to volunteering more. Anyway, I started to feel yucky towards the latter part of the night and though I thought it was just my blood sugar and/or this new medication I'm taking for endometriosis, I must have caught a bug or something. So over the weekend I had been feeling yucky with a cold/wannabe flu type thing that carried through the weekend. Then Monday and today (Tuesday) I stayed home from school, eating lots of soup and drinking lots of herbal tea. Well, my amazing, cute, sweet, boyfriend Matt had some flowers and a card sent to me. What a thoughtful person he is. :) The flowers just hit the spot so perfectly because being under the weather makes you feel lousy in a few ways anyway, but I had also been kind of stressed and a little down about some things. The flowers are just so happy in looks, smell, everything...and the card is really sweet. Gah, I am so lucky. :)
