Touching moment

So today.. I was having a completely FRAZZLED day!! It all started yesterday when I had to take our outlook into the saturn dealership for a quick repair. We were under the impression that it was going to be a 1 to 2 day job and that they were going to give us a "loaner" car. So I load up the kids... only bringing a bottle with a few oz. in it.. one diaper.. which we already used.. and not much of anything else. We were just going to be super fast drop ours off.. get the loaner.. and be back home before you could blink. So we get there.. have to fill out paperwork etc.. then the lady hands me the keys and says... "see you in a few hrs". Yes.. I understand this does NOT sound like a big deal.. it would not be a big deal if I didn't live 40 MIN away from the dealership. I was just kind of baffled and didn't say anything.. loaded up my kids.. and started off. I was thinking.. what in the world and I going to do with my kids for "a few hrs".. with NO formula... SOOO TIRED kids.. (we had just been to the park and other things right before).. No diapers.. NO fun toys or anything in the car. The kids were so grumpy.. and it was hot.. just not fun. It shouldn't have been a big deal... but I was already having a bad day.. so it made it worse.. So.. you all know me.. instead of get mad.. I just cry! So I call the lady back and tell her that I am in a very unprepared bind... and asked if I could take the car home and come back in the morning. She was a little reluctant (because they were letting us borrow the car for free) but said.. No problem.. just try to come back as early as possible. So problem solved. So this morning we load up.. I take the kids to Ann's.. tell her I should only be 30-45 minutes. I get down there to find out that they need another hour or so.. Soo I drive around.. wander thru stores for a while.. call back.. they say.. 30 more. Eat some lunch.. wander some more.. and call in.. They need an hour.. so after an hour I go in there and wait.. for about 20 more minutes.. go in and check in.. they need AT LEAST another hour to an hour and a half.. and of course by that time it would almost be the end of day.. so I could take the car home and come back in the morning, or I could wait an hour and a half or so and come back. I was SOOOOO bugged!!! But of course.. my bugged.. is cry. NOT IN FRONT OF THEM! So here I have Ann on hold for hours on end.. with the kids.. while I have just wasted my day. So I left.. drove all the way back to Highland to get my kids.. waited for about another hour.. and drove back down to get the stupid car. So that was my crappy day...
HOWEVER!!!!!! I had such a touching moment while I was waiting at the dealership!
It might sound so dumb.. but it was so touching for me. There was 2 people downs syndrome sitting next to me.. A girl probably.. mid 30's, and a guy.. about the same age. They were so cute.. kind of flirting with one another. I just watched and listened thinking how funny they were being with eachother.. and just how ADORABLE they were. Someone (I think probably one of their parents) came in and got the guy and took him outside to go see something leaving the girl there. We got talking about Mt. Dew and how it was both of our FAVORITES.. and just started talking about lots of other things. I noticed she had a wedding ring on her hand. She told me that Taco Bell in Orem has the BEST MT. Dew and her and her husband LOVE to go there for dinner. I asked her how long she has been married... they are celebrating their 14th anniversary next week!! She said.. "did you see that absolutly georgous man that was sitting next to me? He is the love of my life.. I think he is amazing.. and I am so lucky to be with him for eternity." She was just so giddy! Like a young girl with her first love!
So cute!! They were married in the Provo temple 14 yrs ago. It just made me realize how sometimes I totally take my marriage for granted.. and the opportunity that we have to be together as families for eternity. This girl was so happy to tell me that.. and I'm sure that she tells a lot of people that same thing! I just thought it was cute.. and thought I would share! I was glad that I got some good warm and fuzzies out of a STINKY day!!!
