an afteroon in the park

i am pretty much in love with this story, so i've gotta share it.

There once was a little boy who wanted to meet God. He knew it was long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with Twinkies and a six-pack of root beer and he started his journey.
When he had gone about three blocks, he met an old woman. She was sitting in the park just staring at some pigeons. The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase. He was about to take a drink from his root beer when he noticed that the old lady looked hungry, so he offered a Twinkie. She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered a root beer. Once again she smiled at him. The boy was delighted!
They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.
As it grew dark, the boy realized how tired he was and he got up to leave, but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever.
When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face.
She asked him, "What did you do today that made you so happy?"
He replied, "I had lunch with God." But before his mother could respond, he added, "You know what? She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"
Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home.
Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and he asked, "Mother, what did you do today that made you so happy?"
She replied, "I ate Twinkies in the park with God." But before her son responded, she added, "You know, he's much younger than I expected."

And this is what I love.

Yesterday was my first away game, at Spanish Fork. It was pretty much the most amazing experience. When we got their, it started to rain. It poured. all through the first half. I had the best time. I got to tumble in the rain, which is pretty much the best experience I could ever have. My brother also came to watch me, which was awesome. I love all the girls on my team, especially my rose, who was the only one who wasn't scared to tumble in the rain with me. I also loved the hour-long bus ride, where we screamed our favorite song lyrics the entire time. It was a blast. and so worth my legs killing today. This is what I love.
