It's 9:42pm, 93 degrees outside, and 90 degrees inside my house.
Our AC broke (again) today.
But I'm not complaining. I was earlier today. Heat makes me grumpy. But sweets make me happy! Here's the story:
Jordan took Calin and Capri on the Father's & Son's campout (yeah, that's right, Capri too, ha!)
All week long I have been secretly (a secret only because I never said it out loud, not even to Jordan, but not for any particular reason) planning what I will do with my Friday night when Jordan and Calin are gone (and Capri too it turned out).
This was my plan:
Use the $15 I got earlier this week for watching a friend's little girl while she was at work to fill my craving for those delicious Sweet Tooth Fairy Cakebites. Yum!! All week I have been planning this trip to the STF.
One thing! That's it! That's all I planned, and I couldn't wait!
So today finally comes and all I can think about is getting Jordan and kids off on their trip so I can go on my little date with Taylor and get me some cakebites! Instead I stayed home sweating away in my HOT house on a 100+ degree day waiting around for the AC repair man to arrive.
I was BUMMED!!! All week I have been looking forward to those cakebites! All week!! But just when "G" (that's the repair man) was telling me we would have to wait until the morning to get the part he needs to fix the AC, our doorbell rang.
At my doorstep was my SWEET sweet friend Lauren with a BOX of Cakebites from the Sweet Tooth Fairy! I about cried. She had no idea I had been planning on going there, and how bummed I was that my broken AC stopped me. But there she was, bringing me cakebites anyway. (She said she wanted to thank us for mowing their lawn yesterday. Which of course was all Jordan, but I'm pretty sure those cakebites were meant for me. Right?! I'll still leave 1/2 for him, cause I love him that much).
Without getting into it too much, I've had a hard time making friends here. Not that I don't have any friends here, but I don't feel like I have many close friends. And it's been something I've been really struggling with lately. So when Lauren showed up with the exact thing I had been looking forward to all week long, I was reminded that Heavenly Father cares, and I have some wonderful people around me who care too. I just need to put forth some effort in building those friendships, cause there are some amazing people and friends to be made here! And I don't want to miss out on them!

Yum! Those look so yummy. Jordan said he was pretty sure you would be addicted to those. :) how nice is your friend. Such a good reminder. Hope your AC is fixed! Heat in my house makes me grumpy too.
That is the greatest story! it reminded me of a talk President Monson gave last October Women's Conference. I love those tender moments!
Sorry your AC broke. I would just about die!
I love those reminders- thanks for sharing. Hope your AC gets fixed and stays fixed for the rest of the summer- what a pain! Love keeping up on your darling family through your blog- sure wish we lived close!
What a sweet story. No pun intended. Those look delicious. And you're such an awesome/fun girl I know some girls are probably dying to be your friend. I know how things can get busy with kids and trying to find time for friends.
Those are sooo yummy and what a tender moment that you do have friends. That is what I struggled with most while living there I understand. I thought of you as one of my better friends with our short stay there :) You can do it.
