Matt's B-day!

This year to celebrate Matt's big 3-1 (on October 2nd) we went out to dinner with my family at Red Robins one of our favorite restaurants (we had our first date there). It was a blast!









This year instead of doing presents we decided to go shopping together. So for Matt's b-day I gave him a little cash and we spent the day shopping. He bought a couple of movies, and ipod player for his car.
We then went out to lunch at GoodWood BBQ another one of our favorites. Throughout the day I gave him little pieces of paper that said "31 Reasons Why I Love You!" with each piece telling Matt one reason why I love him (duh!) He liked it a lot so it was definitely fun for me to see him smile as he read each one.





Later that night I made him German Chocolate Cake (its kind of a funny story because I made him the cake late and so I didn't give it enough time to cool before putting the candles in it...and well the wax on the candles melted into the cake! We'll just say it was quite different pulling the wax out of the cake as we ate it!) but Matt enjoyed it and so that made me happy. He seemed to have a wonderful birthday and I couldn't ask for anything more!






Mom and Dad D. decided to visit this last weekend for Matt's b-day and to see conference. They made it out here on Friday the 5th, we went out to dinner and just were so excited to see them. It was good to catch up and talk and see how things were going. Saturday morning we listened to the 177th General Conference via radio as we drove to SLC to watch the afternoon session at the Conference Center. When we got there it was pouring cats and dogs and we met up with Danielle and sat in the balcony seats for Conference.

I just have to say it was an amazing experience.I have never gone to Conference before (though I have been to the Conference Center) and the huge auditorium where Conference is held is just breathtaking! Listening to the Lord's servants preach the gospel was something I will never forget. One the the Elders form the Quorum of the Twelves, Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin gave a talk bout about what sets us Mormons apart and during his talk which was very moving in itself, Elder Wirthlin began to shake from Parkinsons and what was so touching was Elder Russel M. Nelson stood up besides Elder Wirthlin as a support for him and though he was in pain he continued his talk. I thought it was very touching that he finished his talk and the spirit was felt there. After Conference we headed back to Orem where mom bought Matt and I grocery's which was very gracious of her. We are very thankful for our family and the things they do for us!

On Sunday we listened to Conference again and then all four of us went to my mom's house in Payson to enjoy the evening there. My mom had to work so we got dinner ready and when she got home we enjoyed hamburgers, pasta, and chips as two families spend the evening together.

Mom and Dad D. took off on Monday and I jut have to say how grateful I am that they could come visit and spend time with us. I am also so grateful that I am sealed to my family and I am sealed to my most amazing and beautiful husband Matt! Matt is the light of my life and I thank the Lord everyday for bringing him into my life over two years ago. I have a strong testimony of family and I know the Lord has blessed me with an amazing and wonderful family!
