Most of you know my dear friend, April, and her precarious heart condition. She lives life to the fullest, even though her body will not do all the exciting little things her mind wants to. She is also a very determined lady. She decided she wanted to attend an endowment session at the temple, (it could be her last...) For those who haven't been through the temple , an endowment session lasts about two hours long and is a very symbolic, spiritual ritual and a special way to worship our Lord. It can be tough on the healthiest of persons, but when April decides to do something she does it - so we all packed in Chris's suburban and off to to the Boise Temple we went. I was on the phone most of the way, talking with the temple matron explaining our special circumstances. We not only had April, who could have a "heart episode" at any moment , but we also had our Annie, who is pregnant and managed to fall down the downstairs and break her tailbone. We had to make sure we were seated in a certain order, with April up front and Annie on the large bench to sit on with her donut... I can't even imagine what this dear temple worker was thinking. 
She made it!! April did have to pop a pill or two, but she did it. We can all learn a bit from this lady.
April and Cindy Birch. Cindy is the only person I know who ALWAYS has a smile on her face, I mean it, ALWAYS.
Sometimes I think April is faking her illness because she looks so dang good!!
April and Kelli Pabst. Thank you Kelli for crying with me the whole time. I was starting to go into the "ugly" cry, not good... Kelli was right there with me and even lost the ability to tie a bow at one point. The rest of the gang are quite cold hearted and don't cry - Thaaaank you, Kelli!!!
Hi, Friend. I love ya like a vampire. 
Afterwards we went to lunch were we celebrated the gender of Annie's baby. I have already dubbed him Hank. Annie was so hungry she ate french fries off the floor. I am so glad I am not pregnant.
This is what really cracked me up: April's Heart Healthy Meal. Deep fried potatoes and and some oily fishy something. Awesome, a good reminder to those who bring dinners in, apparently April eats what she wants now. Good for you.Thank you, April, and all the girls for such a wonderful day. My love to you all.
