When in situations of stress we wonder if there is anymore to give. We can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail. Let us remember that we were measured before and were found equal to our tasks. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance that God will not over-program us; he will not press upon us more than we can bear.

Our Fun Weekend

This past weekend we went to the SLC area for a number of things... but friday night we decided we were much needed for a date. Since our Anniversary was coming up, we decided it would be our "celebratory" weekend.
We went to dinner at the Macaroni Grill. It was FABULOUS! We went in and had an awesome waiter. I ordered Parmesan Chicken and Todd ordered a pizza. The waiter was busy and accidentally entered in the wrong pizza for him so we got two free pizzas. We got three dinners for the price of one! It was great and we didn't even need a coupon!
Afterwards we decided we wanted to go to a place where we've never been before. We decided to go to Boondocks in Draper. It was SO MUCH FUN! We went miniature golfing and I totally beat Todd by four strokes heheh! If I wasn't so pregnant and uncomfortable we would have done a lot more so we decided we're going back after Lily comes!


Saturday we went to Ogden right after we went to Barns and Noble and bought Breaking Dawn. We first went with my brother Eli and his family and some in-laws out by willard bay and let their dogs run around. It was fun, a little hot but still fun! We then went to this Italian ice place that had really good treats! Thanks Eli and Colleen for showing us that place! After that we went to visit a friend in Ogden that Todd knows from Salinas and we had lunch from them. After that we had to get back to Pleasant Grove for a reunion. Todd's old ward from Salinas was having a reunion with all of those people who have moved to Utah. I was fun for me to meet many different people I had heard of buy hadn't met. They were all a lot of fun! It was a fun filled weekend and it was great to see so many people we hadn't seen in a while. Thanks Rachel and Rhonda for the great presents and fabulous dinner yesterday!

Sure...come within 2 minutes of my house, and don't say hi!! Just kidding. The Boondocks is really fun! It's about 2 blocks away from Darrell's work, so we've had a try at it! It's also only about 10 minutes from house...:) Glad to see you had a fun weekend! Happy Fisher Holiday to you!
