The other day I was riding in the car with Sammy and Luke (my nephews from my sister Hannah). I told Sam I was sad he had to go back home and that I wanted him to stay with me. Then Sam told me I wasn’t invited to his house because only really happy people are invited. He said if you listen to God and do your prayers and your scriptures, then you are invited to my house…and do your dishes and clean the floor and listen to Heavenly Father, and Jesus and the Holy Ghost. I was taught simple truths from a 3 year old. All you have to do to be really happy is listen to God and then you’re invited into his home. It was really precious. I pray Sam will never forget those things.
The first time I meet a boy I tend to look at his shoes. I feel like the shoes a boy chooses to wear really say a lot about his personality. Most boys only have 4 or 5 pairs of shoes: Sunday shoes, tennis shoes, 1 or 2 pair of everyday shoes and sandals. Those 1 or 2 pair of everyday shoes they decide to wear are what really tells me a lot about them. Are they skater, 80's, too stylish, do they run, are they gay, weird, normal, way cool, nice etc. You can tell a lot...I promise. I told my mom the other day that I am really trying hard to look at the heart and not the shoes. I'm in to the normal shoes: tennis shoes or diesel-like shoes. I just like normal guys ya know?
Tonight I went caroling at an elderly care center for the disabled. It was really fun. One of the residents grabbed onto my belt-loop and pulled down pretty quick. Lucky I have hips to stop my pants from coming down, and the worker guy caught it and helped me out. It was really funny.

Isn't being an aunt the greatest? I also pray my cute nieces and nephews will never forget the nuggets of truth they learn and trust at this young age. Funny story about your pants :)
When I was dating I would always look at a guys hands. I have really big hands, so I had a hard time dating anyone with sissy looking hands. Don't worry, I'm sure there are millions of normal shoe guys out there that would be elated at the thought that they would even have a chance with someone as wonderful as you.
I was the same as Andy-always looking to see if the guys hands were bigger than mine. I like your idea better. I think you can tell alot about a person by looking at their shoes vs. how big their hands are. When Ben went to his Vidal Sassoon class, the instructor told everyone that one of the first things they do is look at the person's shoes and then they know what kind of haircut to give them.
