Crying

i am a huge crybaby. i cry at every little thing. i could be watching a kids' show and just well up with tears. or a hallmark comercial could come on and i lose it. last night i went to the temple for (derek's sister) heather's endowment session. for you non-mormons out there, this is a pretty big deal. anyway, afterwards a bunch of us went to chili's to eat. when we were all getting ready to leave i gave heather a hug and she said that it meant a lot to her that i was there. this did not make me tear up. no, it wasn't until i told her that derek wanted to be there that i teared up. she's getting married this saturday. i won't see her again until next week. she's going all the way to illinois to get married. i can't afford that trip, plus i have to leave my kids with someone while i was at the wedding, so the next time i see her she will be married. i get teary-eyed just thinking about it. i'm so happy for her and her fiancé. i'll probably cry at the reception, too.
