My Past Weekend!

Ok this past weekend had to have been one of the best! My brother, John and his wife came in town because Jason, my nephew got baptized on Saturday and my other nephew, Lincoln was blessed on Sunday! So that was something really eventful for my family! Jason's baptism went really well. Natalie gave a great talk too! Then we went to Chuck-a-rama, which I don't necessarily love, but was really good I guess, considering I was so stuffed! Ha! It was also my Grandma's birthday, so we were celebrating for her and we sang to her too! That was fun! My grandma is a cutie!! At 3 pm , Saturday, we had our first little event for Miss PG royalty. Well, not really, but we went to the Strawberry Days Rodeo Pageant to support the queen and the royalty that we'll be working with for part of the summer. That was fun to hang out with the girls and get a little taste of the rodeo :) The girls were so decked-out in their high-waisted tight jeans with embroidery and curly hair! Ha I love it! I wish I could ride a horse! The girl that won did really well. We knew she was going to be in the top. Then, at 6 o'clock, Terry came over and we went to meet his friend at Tepenyaki's (Spelling?) in Sandy. We had to wait a while because his friend, got lost, but it was ok because i just got to talk to Terry even more :) The food was so so good and the chef was amazing!! Ha I love watching them make the food right in front of you! They do the coolest tricks too! We even caught shrimp in our mouths! Well, I did, after I missed the first one-oops! Ha, but it was really fun!

After that, we went back to Terry's house and roasted marshmallows (not olives(Inside joke) ha) That was a lot of fun too! Overall, the night was amazingly fun! :)

Sunday, was definitely the best day I've had in a long time! It was so refreshing and uplifting-literally the whole day! It started with Lincoln's blessing, which was great! Suzy and Nate both bore their testimonies-which I love! You could tell how much love Suzy and Nate have for their child and each other and especially the gospel! After the meeting was over, we had lunch at the Andersons, our other family! :) It was so incredibly warm outside-I even got a little pink from the sun! It was fun to visit with the family!

Terry and I went to the CES fireside at BYU by Russell M. Nelson. It was about choosing appropriate music. It went really well, except I was a little dissappointed because it was very short! But I loved the music, AND I learned something new! Nelson's first wife died and he got remarried to another lady in 2006. I never knew that!

Terry and I have decided that we LOVE tunnel singing! If anyone ever can and wants to come with us, PLEASE DO! (Every sunday at 10 pm) So we were planning to go that night, but we still had time before it started. So ate some ice cream and watched a little Joseph Smith movie-which was really well done, actually! Then we went Tunnel singing! It's so nice to just go there and feel the spirit! Of course, you have to make sure to stand next to the right people because some people just go there to goof off or flirt. Many of you may know that I can't really sing well! Haha I'm not ashamed to admit it, so going to sing everyweek was kind of risky for me, but I guess my voice isn't too bad if people still stand and sing next to me, haha!

SO as you can tell, Sunday was a very spiritually-fed day! I am so grateful for our gospel and the knowlege we have from it! I'm so grateful I have friends and family that I can do gospel activities with and have fun!! There are so many opportunities for us ! It's amazing!
