The Leprechaun Visit


Every St. Patricks Days, we get a visit from a mysterious leprechaun who sneaks in through a window or door and leaves green footprints up to a spot where he leaves a gift and treat for the kids. My kids love this holiday for this reason and looked forward to it all day long. They had to wait longer than usual because Brayden had scouts and piano. But our faithful little leprechaun snuck in through the back door while we were out picking Brayden up from the church. He left the kid's favorite, oreos and legos. Our house is filled with some very happy kids.

Five years ago this summer, this really cute girl moved into the apartments at the top of my street. I had just had my last baby, Spencer, and was starting to feel a bit secluded. I met this girl at the ward party and was amazed by her. I made her my Mia Maid advisor and we soon found out that we had so much in common. We became really good friends really fast. And the best part came when she and her husband bought a house on our street. We have made some awesome memories together, Martin's Cove, Arches, water aerobics, a picnic inside our suburban at Matt Warner and holding baby Brianna at the hospital, to name a few.

I am so lucky to have her in my life. She has no idea what her friendship means to me. And every time Tyler talks about moving, I'm the one dragging my feet because what would my life be without her? Today is her birthday.....so Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday Elizabeth!
