QS gave me the royal food treatment with her delicious goat cheese and tomato baked pastries. Sorry, I don't remember the official name. Mmmmm....It was such a treat not to have to worry about food, dishes (I didn't help at all since I was holding my baby most of the time), cleaning up toys, and all the other chores that come with the 3 year old and 6 year old territory back at home.
It was such a nice vacation. I loved every bit of the trip, the conference, the food, the relaxation etc. but above all I enjoyed just being able to talk and talk and talk with my good friends. Everyone needs a "time out" once in awhile. And it had been a long while since I had one!
Thank you to every one who made it possible, including my dear Aunt Astrid and Arnold and Mandi. Thank you to my grandma for watching the kids for one day. And a huge thank you to my husband who without complaint watched Rebecca and Joseph all weekend, fed them (=Chuck E Cheese, IHOP, Costco hotdogs), entertained them (a train ride, Splash water park, fun shopping adventures) and loved them. After hearing everything they did I thought they wouldn't have missed me at all. But when I asked Joseph what his favorite part about the weekend was he said: "Picking you up at the airport!"
Ahhhh, it's good to be loved.

Scarlett's amazing culinary delights
We met at the BYU foreign language housing in 1996! Can't believe it's been that long.
Keep smiling until we meet again!

Just saw this... you make me so happy! Just reminded me I need to type out day two notes... have not gotten my head back together for a couple weeks.
Hope you guys all come visit again soon!
Im so glad that you got to go and that your time there was well spent! You are right in the fact that we all need a "time out". Mine will be in a few weeks when I will be going to AZ. I am so excited to be with my family and especially being in the temple with Julie. Her birthday wish was for me to fly out and be with her!
