Happy Mother's Day!

Even though I am not a mom, Andrew still likes to treat me special on Mother's Day. (Well, he treats me special everyday, but I like what Megan said ... this is one day that I don't have to feel guilty about it.) The morning started out great with Andrew making me a delicious breakfast before we went to Church.

Church was wonderful. Our ward has a tradition of giving all women the day off. The men take over all the callings and do all the work. I think that is so great of them and I really appreciated it. I was asked to go in for opening exercises of Primary to just make sure that they had everything they needed. It was great to see the men step up and do such a great job. I know the kids loved it! I was able to go to Andrew's Sunday School class which was something I don't ever get to do. I then went to Relief Society and had a great lesson. It was a nice break, but it also made me grateful for my calling ... I missed being in primary and have to admit that I felt a little out of place with all the adults.


Andrew then began to make dinner. We invited Jessica over because Cory was in the middle of his dental board exams that day. I couldn't decide on just one thing that I wanted for dinner, so Andrew was nice enough to make all of them!
We had a delicious dinner of roasted tomato soup, fettucine with both alfredo and marinara sauce, beet salad, grilled asparagus, grilled chicken and breadsticks. Yummy!!
Jessica insisted on bringing something over so she made this amazing strawberry dessert. It tasted like homemade icecream!

I hope everyone had as great a Mother's Day as I did! Happy Mother's Day to my mom and mom-in-law! You two are amazing and we appreciate everything you do for us!
