A Night to Remember!

I do not even know where to start!  Tonight was beyond wonderful.  Our stake wanted to do a dance for Joshua and we started the night out in a limousine.  (Every thing we did tonight was a surprise for him.)  He just looked at it and said, "is that for me?"  He has always been sad he could not drive a date himself so this was the best I could do.  Once he got to the dance he could not believe how many people came.  All night long kids kept coming up to him and telling him they thought he was great and he said on the way home, Mom, I am not sure who everyone was!  Then at quarter to 8 they crowned him king and his date queen of the dance and gave them both a crown.  They took them out for pictures and while they were gone Gentri set up.  When he came back in and the crowd went wild for him he looked amazed but you should have seen his face when Gentri began to play!  He kept looking at me, first because he couldn't believe it and then because he still couldn't believe it!  All he could say was wow.  The band called him up and gave him a pocket square and other gifts and he just stood there in disbelief.  They asked if the could go back to playing and Josh said in Josh fashion, "have at it".
A couple of things stood out to me tonight.  One, Josh is so humble he still can't figure out why everyone is fussing over him.  He was amazed.  But I know he is amazing!  Two, we can not thank the people who are supporting us enough.  It is hard to explain what this journey is like, we are so overwhelmed.  A hug or kind word makes all the difference and we feel wrapped up in love!  To have Gentri and their wonderful crew put all this time and effort into tonight,  to have dozens of people thru out the stake organize, plan, and work to put on this great night was truly a testimony to the power of love.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.  This is a night to remember and I know my family goes to bed tonight with visions of stage lights, sounds of cheers, sounds of song, and so much joy. 

I can not explain it but we have peace.  Nights like tonight that go off without a hitch are something to marvel at.  I know that Heavenly Father is leading the way and carries our family thu out this trial.  I wish I could say where this is leading but I know that I don't need to know, we just need to live today and then tomorrow if we are lucky.  Today was a good day and we are thankful for that!
