This is my nine year old. She will be ten in a few weeks. Crazy to think that I have a kid that old. A little back ground on us, we belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. And the other day we went to eat at the good ol' Chuck O' Rama with Nate's Parents and sister and brother-in-law. We were seated and low and behold Henry B. Eyring and his family were eating at the table behind us. He is the first councilor in our church. Next to Thomas S. Monson who is our Prophet. Needless to say, we were on our best behavior and Macy and Adrie were excited to see him. Of course we didn't want to bother him while he was eating and everyone else seemed to be paying the same respect. The girls were so excited and asked if they could say "HI" to him but I told them that now was not a good time. So as he was leaving, a handful of people had surrounded him to shake his hand. Macy took this as her opportunity and got up on her own accord to join the group. Being the only child, she was getting aced out and realized that she would not get through the group to shake his hand. She sheepishly came over to where I was at (getting dessert of course) and acted like she was on her way over to me anyway with a look of discouragement. President Eyring saw this and followed her and asked to shake her hand! This absolutely melted my heart along with hers. She talked about it for days about how he shook her hand. I was so grateful that he noticed her because it totally made her day. And if you know my shy Macy, this is not something she would normally do.
