Happy late Valentine’s Day! ❤

I had an awesome week. Things are looking up. I’ve been SO blessed! Let me tell ya about it. 🙂

First, I had a talk with my husband about my breakdowns. He told me something special that really turned me around. He told me that no matter how much I broke down, no matter how sad I was, he would never get tired of helping me out, and that I could ALWAYS talk to him. That made my whole week (but that wasn’t all that happened to make this a good week)!

Second, Tuesday was Valentine’s Day. I hadn’t really thought too hard about it. Last week, we attended a Stake Valentine’s Dance together that was just amazing, so I thought we had already really celebrated Valentine’s Day. Plus, I had two exams that needed to be taken, so my thoughts were not on a romantic day at all. I was focused on the tests. Well, we attended devotional by means of internet and listened to the sweet words of Elder Anderson. Afterwards, it was time for my tests. Noah (my husband) dropped me off at the testing center, and I went and took the tests. I expected them to take a while, but I was done quickly. A splendid surprise.

I finished with my tests (did good on both, hooray!) and texted Noah I was done. He immediately replied, saying he’d be waiting at the drop-off circle. I expected him to be at home when I texted, so the fact that he was so quickly there to pick me up was yet another pleasant surprise… then I got in the car.

There was a flower vase with a beautiful yellow/reddish rose in the cup holder, with a handwritten note by it. I must’ve had the most blank stare on my face (I had forgotten all about Valentine’s Day, after all), so he said, “Happy Valentine’s Day!” The note was written in Japanese (which we both know) and it was so sweet. I was so happy. He’s the best ever!

Apparently, he had dropped me off, high-tailed it to the flower shop in Rexburg, and bought the flower. He had just gotten back to the parking lot when I texted him saying I was finished with my exams. I loved this Valentine’s Day, and it is one I hope I never forget.

So, that pretty much boosted me through the week. I still had my random breakdowns (to be expected, because I’m still pregnant), but I had greater motivation to do my assignments and everything just seemed to work out this week.

I will now tie this into special education, and education in general. Those with disabilities may start to feel like they are becoming a burden to their caretakers. It is so important to tell them exactly what my husband told me–no matter what, we will be there for them. They can ALWAYS come to us, and we will help them. Also, we should go the extra mile on occasion to show them how serious we are about being there for them. It could make their day!

This week, I’ve learned more about the process of helping each student get the help they need by correctly assessing their needs. Very glad that I did the case study this week. Despite only having two members in our group, it was fun and awesome!

Hope next week is even better than this one for myself and for everyone!
