Star Struck

Now I know what it means, and have heard of people experiencing it, but I always kinda rolled my eyes.

Well . . . now I went through it and laugh at myself. When people are star stuck, it's pretty easy to act silly.

On Saturday, Jason and I went to watch a movie, more specifically, "The Avengers". :) I had already seen it, but Jason hadn't. So we went to Megaplex, grabbed some delicious buttery popcorn and drinks and watched it. Now while the movie is super fantastic and I totally LOVE it, it paled in comparison to what happened when the movie was over, at least for me. hahaha.

Now we were walking out and headed to our car when Jason said, "Was that President Eyring?"

I stopped, and turned around opening the doors to get back in. My husband followed me.

I could see the backs of a old couple but didn't budge. Jason asked me if I wanted to go see if it was him. I nodded. He grabbed my hand and led me along to see.

It was him!!! I felt utterly ridiculous and couldn't stop smiling as we approached him. Jason shook his hand and introduced us, I then shook HENRY B. EYRING's HAND!!!

I'm like wow!!! He told us how he and his wife were there with his grandchildren going to watch Madagascar 3. We told him we just watched Avengers. Jason mentioned how he met Pres. Eyring at the MTC before his mission and shook his hand there as well. I then told a silly story about my parents seeing him at Sizzler and how my step-dad had recognized him but thought he was from the stake and didn't realize till later when my mom said "Do you know who that was?"

Ya, I'm dumb. I didn't need to tell him that story, I couldn't really think of anything to say besides nice to meet you. So I told him that story, grrr, I bet he gets people like me all the time who are too tongue twisted to say anything worth while. But I couldn't help it!! While I don't hold any hopes of ever meeting the prophet, I still met one of his counselors, which is pretty amazing for me!

While on the outside I couldn't help having a dumb smile on my face, inside I felt like I was having a jaw dropping moment. On the way home Jason mentioned how Pres Eyring's wife probably never gets too much attention. That struck something inside me. I instantly felt bad. I mean we can't help it to recognize the men of the church, but what of their sweet wonderful wives?!?! They support their husbands soo much and sacrifice alot, but it's not like people recognize or shake their hands all the time.

I wish I could have given her a hug. :( I wish I could have let her know that I think she's amazing. Because behind every amazing man, there is a wonderful strong woman supporting and loving her husband . . . or something like that. :)

For the rest of the day, I felt like I was floating a little higher though.
