Pine Wood Derby...FOR GIRLS?

For achievement days the leaders decided to do a Pine Wood Derby for the girls. (How fun is that?) They decorated their cars at the activities and yesterday they had the Derby. The girls had so much fun it was mass chaos while we were there but it was entertaining for an hour. One of the sisters said she took all the cars home and coated them with a clear coat there was so much glitter on them that they had to do something. (that made me giggle)

I will have to upload a pic later of KJ and her car..for some reason it will let me but it is side ways...(Sideways pictures drive me crazy)

anyhow while I was there one of the sisters were asking me what Wade and I's plans are if we were going to find a house in the ward or what. I mean we haven't really decided where we want to buy it is more of does the house have things that we really want and when I told her that, she gave me this blank look like hmm....then she said "can I ask what you are wanting in a house." I proceeded to tell her about our home in Idaho and how we loved it but it was little and blah blah blah and this being a home we hope to be in for a while I wanted things like a laundry room. Not just a washer and dryer in a closet with folding doors I want and actual room it doesn't have to be huge, and I want a sliding glass door to my back yard. This sister started to giggle. I said did I say something wrong and she said "no'' I just pictured you as the type that wants granite counter tops and custom cabinets and all the finer things. I said "oh no"... so we chatted for a while longer. When I got home I thought about it the conversation and it really hit me once again. You should NEVER put people in a category because what you may see them as is NOTHING that they really are. That lady that looks super cute with the perfect hair and not an ounce of fat on her may be the most insecure woman ever, or the lady that drives the nice car and has the most gorgeous house maybe struggling with things in her marriage or at her job or having trouble with her kids. The man or woman at the store with the scowl on their face like they hate the world they need to know that someone knows they exist even if you don't know their name.  So I ask you all one simple thing. Smile, say hi and make small talk you NEVER know what doing small and simple things will do for a person.
