Sister Missionaries, Cheescake Factory, FHE and a Birthday Party




Caralee and I had the sister missionaries over for dinner and we served it up on a decorated table. An amazing salad by Caralee with rasberry salad dressing, herb chicken and rice with carrot cake and cream cheese frosting for dessert. We did that on Martin Luther King day. Then on Thursday I headed down to Corona after my yoga class and spent time with my family. Went to work on Friday at the Ontario Campus and then met up with my cousins at the cheesecake factory. Spent way to much money on dinner, but it was pretty good. I loved my oreo cheesecake. Then went back to their apartment and Katie and I daydreamed about the future and it was really fun! Saturday, my Aunt Kath and I helped watch my sweet little cousin and took her on walks and had I fun pretending to be a Mom. Then that evening I went over to my other cousins house and helped decorate for the birthday girls party the following day. It was decked out in pink and white. Sunday, I decided to not go to the Singles ward and went instead to my cousins ward (they are both attending the same ward). So I spent Sunday School and Relief Society in Primary and Nursey. It was very endearing. My sunbeam cousin wanted me to go and hear her sing during singing time. When I heard her sing about wanting to go to the temple I felt so much love for my Heavenly Father and the blessings he gives. That night was the party and we had a blast with all the family. My teenage cousin, told his mom how stong I was, when I flexed and it made me feel like a million bucks. I honestly feel so honored to be related to so many wonderful people.
