Somewhere, over the dew

So, I may be a little infatuated with Sheri Dew. She's a great inspirational speaker and very funny! This past Saturday, she spoke to a congregation of women. I knew she was slated to come, weeks before her arrival. I really wanted to hear her speak but I didn't feel it appropriate to dress in drag for the occasion.

A few days before the blessed event, I was asked to help park cars. PARK CARS? Is someone trying to kill me? What a temptation!??!!? I agreed, without hesitation, but with some degree of butterflies in my tummy. I really want to meet this woman. I've seen her speak, I've got two books of hers; one of which my wonderful darling sweet pal named Ouizar almost got signed for me, the other she bought me for Christmas-or maybe my birthday...she knows my memory is shot, like her pantyhose! I digress.

The night came and I willingly showed up for my duties as traffic personnel. I will be lying if I didn't say I wanted to see her. Perhaps even park her car! But I stayed my position. Until, it happened. A car appeared in the parking lot. It was was a familiar car, so I knew who it was instantly. I waved them to park in the next available slot, but they wouldn't. So in straddled position, I stretched my legs out as far as they, or my pants, would allow me. Of course, it was all in jest to try to ward the car away from parking in a different spot. As I released my crouching tiger position, I headed to the car to make a comment or two. Then, there she was. Sheri Dew was being escorted by a member of the Stake Relief Society Presidency. I just sprawled out in the church parking lot in front of Sheri Dew. Now, you're probably thinking, "Oh, Tim, I can't believe you. I'm so sorry, you must be so embarrassed." On the contrary, I'm so excited that I got to see her. If I could have ran fast enough and got there without tainted breath, I would have gone to meet her.

Everyone told me I should have stayed anyway to hear her speak. I really should have. but I knew it was for women and I felt that I didn't necessarily need to be there.

She came, she spoke and she was loved by all! I'm very glad to have been able to see her. She truly is a great inspirational speaker and has a great grasp on the gospel. I love me some Sheri Dew!
