A Weekend of Fun

This weekend was the 4th Annual St. George birthday party for my friend Amy. Every year, we go to St. George to celebrate her birthday, and in my opinion, to welcome spring & summer! We stay at Amy's brother's in-laws house, and it's been a blast every year. They have a large house up on one of the cliffs, with a nice pool and hot tub. This year there were 10 of us - 9 girls and 1 boy! And guess who that one boy was? Yes, my dear husband went with me and I loved it! He is such a good sport! We drove down on Friday afternoon and met up with Amy, Amanda, Dusty, and Debbie. We ate dinner at The Pizza Factory, then went back to the house and sat in the hot tub. Ali, Steph, Sandra and Rachel joined us later that evening. Saturday morning was a delightful french toast breakfast, and then it was off to the pool! I think every one got a little burned, but it felt so good to be in the sun! The weather was a perfect 85 degrees. We played outside most of the day, then had a BBQ of chicken, steak, shrimp, corn, salad and rolls. We topped it off with a stop at Cold Stone after we made our way through the Factory Outlet stores. We drove home this morning, and thus ends another St. George birthday trip!

Eric and I have both been busy working - and working out. I started a class at Lifetime Fitness that meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6am!! It hasn't been easy for me to get up and workout that early in the morning, but I'm trying to learn to love it. Our day begins at 4:50 am - a little too early in my opinion, but it sure allows for plenty of time to get things done!

Last Sunday we spoke in church, and I am so grateful for that experience! We had the topic of Easter, which was broad but specific at the same time. We had 2 musical numbers, which added a beautiful spirit to the meeting. We also had our first Sunday in Nursery - what a blast! From what I gather, we will only be in there every other week or every third week, so we can still attend our other meetings. I like that idea and look forward to our first week alone with the little ones! They are all so sweet and well-behaved. I'm loving this calling!

The weather is changing up here and we love spending time at Sugarhouse Park. We try to go as often as weather permits. Eric flies his plane, and we play frisbee and throw the football and baseball. We both love being outside and of course, love being together!
