Ben and I had the most amazing fastest weekend in the history of our lives. I don't think we could have or ever will experience the most perfect weekend again. The weather was pretty decent for November. I turned 30 on the 6th. I thought for sure I was going to have a hard time with it, but it wasn't bad. Ben, Dylan and I went to Target and got a few things for Dylan then we went to DI and dropped a ton of stuff off, then off to Deseret Book store. I love going in there to see all the new quotes that I can use for cutting out vinyl. I love the quote "To the world you are a Mother but to your family you are the world". I just love it. After we left we had to go pick up tables from my sister in law Noel. They had a couple of long tables for our luncheon on Sunday. We got home and Ben played with Dylan while I got the house cleaned. At 5 we were to go to my families house for a Birthday dinner for Ben and I. Ben's birthday is the day after mine. Right before we were going to leave, my sweet visiting teaching companion who I love dearly came over with her daughters. She told me to close my eyes. So I did, when I opened them they sang me happy birthday. They had gone and got me my FAVORITE cake ever. Weeks before I was telling her the story how my dad would take us to Carstins and get us treats and I just loved the chocolate fudge cake. She was so sweet to remember. Thanks Janae! :) Now I just need to exercise more because I have been eating so much of it. We then left to my parents house. We had a wonderful roast dinner. We opened gifts and had cake and ice cream. My brother and sister in law gave us a gift card to Texas roadhouse. My sister gave us money and books. My mom and dad gave Ben a shirt and 33 quarters. They gave me an argyle sweater, 30 quarters and a watch. They give us quarters each year for the amount of years we are celebrating. We had a great time. We left Dylan with my family for 30 minutes while we ran and picked up some table cloths and folding chairs from my grandma. We grabbed Dylan came home and got all the tables and chairs set up for the luncheon for the next day.
Sunday November 7th 2010 Today was absolutely crazy yet perfect! Today is Ben's 33rd birthday and Dylan's Blessing day. I woke up stressed out and finished getting things ready for the luncheon. Ben had to go to a church meeting early for one out of 3 church callings. He is the ward technical specialist, secretary in the young men's presidency and the secretary in the elders quorum presidency. Anyway, I got Dylan bathed and put in his blessing outfit. He was so cute. (pics to come soon) I prayed that he would sleep during the blessing so he wouldn't be screaming and crying. I got my wish he did SO good. He slept the whole time. :0) Ben gave a beautiful blessing. We both got up and shared our testimonies. It was such a great experience. I didn't realize Ben could get up and speak so well. I on the other hand do not do well in front of people. Half the stuff I wanted to say slipped away. Luckily it wasn't too bad getting up in front of everyone. I really don't care what they think. I just figured now that I have a child I have to be the example and get use to going up there so he won't be afraid for when he gets older. I want to help him gain a testimony. It was so nice to have SO many family members and friends there. After sacrament we all came over to our house. We ended up having around 40 family member at our house. I am amazed that we were able to fit that many people in our house. The sandwiches turned out yummy thanks to my grandma who makes the best rolls. Luckily the weather was half way decent and the kids were able to go play out on the swings. Luckily we finished with one spill and a raspberry hand print all over the wall. It was so nice and it was fun seeing everyone. It turned out perfect! I couldn't have asked for a better weekend.
