We went to the temple with Monte and Eunice Merrill...they are Allen's aunt and uncle.
Afterwards, we were going to go out for dinner.
Monte had a lot of names for sealings, so another couple came in the room with us....a young couple - a VERY young couple. In fact, they were on their honeymoon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I loved that they would do temple work on their honeymoon - isn't that great!)
After we were done with the sealings, Monte invited them to dinner with us at the Texas Roadhouse. Ah, just what a lovely young newlywed couple wants to do, hang out with old people.
But, it was very enjoyable getting to know Brad and Anna from Logan. It was delightful, pleasant, fun and such a thoughtful thing for Monte to do.
Then, this morning I read an article on happiness - which everyone seems to be searching for these days - and the author said:
Happiness can come from stepping out of your comfort zone."
And, that is just what happened last night; inviting two total strangers to dinner, having a lovely evening with friends AND strangers.
Life is filled with unexpected and joyful moments.
