love for nie nie

Last night Jared and I went to this. It was absolutely amazing. I laughed and then cried and then laughed and then cried some more. Not only was the entertainment (Mindy Gledhill, the Thrillionares, Ryan Shupe and David Osmond) a-mazing, there was such a spirit of hope and love.

I don't know how many of you know or read the nie nie dialogues. I check it out every so often and am totally inspired by the amount of love and charity that has been shown by so many people. And totally inspired by Stephanie herself. What a nightmarish experience to have to go through but what a blessing that she and Christian can still be together with their family. Makes me extra grateful for all that I have.

It really was a beautiful night and one that I won't soon forget. Both Jared and I were really grateful that we could be a part of it.

oh and p.s. - stephanie's beautiful girls claire and jane sang a song with mindy gledhill and now i want to name my girls claire and jane even more...
