Sweet Blessing Day

Tepanyaki, yummmm. :)

Last night we took the kids to Tepankyaki for a special family dinner outing. We had a wonderful time! As we waited in the lobby to be seated, a nice man gave our older son his buzzer(the thing that lights up and vibrates when it is your turn to be seated) so that he could hold one since our daughter was holding ours. It was just a simple kind act, and brought the cutest smile to our sons' face. I whispered to Josh that I was glad that there are still good people in the world. We were both proud of the kids and how well they behaved at the nice restaraunt. Perhaps we'll skip McDonalds A LOT more often and save to eat out at nice places.

After dinner we headed home, and then heard the news about the events happening at Trolley Square. How saddening it is that people get the the point that they are willing to go to a mall and shoot random people- for no apparent reason. The news reported that the 18 yr old had a shotgun and a hand gun, and a back pack full of ammo- It's disturbing that he actually did take 5 lives, and ended his by not surrendering to the police. I've been a little shaken up by the event, because it happend here in the Salt Lake Valley. It makes you wonder if we are ever really safe anywhere... but has been once again a reminder to live each day to the fullest, and to cherish my family a little more.

We are in the process of packing to move, and Josh packed up our camera! I have some hopefully nice pictures from the day that we blessed our baby boy. I'm anxious to get them posted.
