I loved Elder Rasband's talk and I've talked to husband a lot about those words, "call me if you need anything" before that talk. I will never say those words to anyone.

She was willing to give me an hour a week when she would come over and entertain babies so I could sleep, catch up chores, whatever. More recently (those twins now almost 4 and a new baby in the house) neighbors have called to invite my girls over for a playdate to keep them sane and give me time with the baby.

Someday when...OK, its official, we MUST be friends. Someday when our kids are grown and we can go to places at our own free will, we will meet for coffee because I just read that like it was my own train of thought. I think I actually started to shake a little bit as I cried (in a coffee shop -- I'm cool). I OFTEN tell Scott and anyone who will listen - if you really want to help - SHOW UP. I learned this the hard way when millions of people offered to help w/ "those cute sweet babies" when I was pregnant and then only tens of people showed up at the doorstep w/ diapers and hands ready to fold and help put away pumped breast milk. I'm guilty of it too...it's a great reminder, just do it. That women is an angel and what is great is that it is simple for her and it means the world to you and will make your day,week and outlook EASIER - if just for a few loads of laundry!! I am inspired to pay forward today - thank you Kara & thank you Church Lady...(I'm going to walk extra slow and bogged down at church this Sunday...shoot, I'm not preggo though..)
