Too good to miss

5-4-12
So Saydi got a call last night after I had gone to bed from a neighbor wondering if she wanted to go do "Baptisms" at the temple in the morning, 5:30 to be exact. I can't believe she got up all by herself found everything she needed and left, I didn't even need to get out of bed. I am so proud of this child. She is my kid that really likes to sleep in, so for her to do this without any help or persuasion from mom and dad is really something. And after she got back she rushed in changed her clothes and headed off to a math lab to prepare for her test today. I wish I had been that on the ball in 6th grade!!!!
