Sunday, what a treat!!

This weekend was our Stake Conference, and it really was amazing...the Saturday night Adult Session and the Sunday morning Session - both were awesome and I really felt spiritually rejuvenated and motivated to be a more loving person!!  The talks all around were really good and I'm so grateful I was there to feel of and partake of the spirit!

Then Sunday evening since the Thompson's were not able to come to Salt Grass with us last Saturday, they invited us over to Celebrate Alan's birthday by Caitlin making us dinner!!  I'm not going to lie, I knew it was going to be all from scratch and that it was going to be fabulous...so I had been looking forward to it all week long!  And she did not disappoint!!

She made real Lasagna, like they make in Italy, homemade bread with real butter, yummy spinach,  cranberry, avocado, and poppy seed dressing salad, and homemade (her grandmother's recipe) German Chocolate Cake!!  Wowzer!!  It was amazing!  So glad I got invited too!  And Aileen thought she had died and gone to heaven!  Alan talked about the dinner for the rest of the evening!!  And he wondered how Caitlin knew that German Chocolate Cake was his favorite!  You rock Caitlin!!  And we love your family and will miss you all so much when you move for Jared's residency!  But we feel so blessed to have had you in Texas for as long as we have and to get to know the wonderful people that you are and we appreciated your friendship so much!!

Happy Birthday Alan!!  You are one lucky guy!!

The table looked beautiful and the food even better!!
