Today's Thought

"Neither Satan nor any other power can weaken or destroy your growing character. Only you could do that through disobedience. That is why Satan is so intently focused on tempting you to make decisions that will undermine your character. Satan is an accomplished master at making devastating choices appear attractive, even reasonable. So be careful. At this critical time of life you will be faced with many choices. The decisions you will make will profoundly affect life now and for eternity. Make them wisely and prayerfully."

Anniversary Inn & Easter

Easter Weekend Daddy and I packed up and went to Boise.
Last Christmas the kids gave us a gift certificate for Anniversary Inn so we decided to use it up in Boise.  We got to Boise just in time for dinner so we met Chelsea and Jason at Cheesecake Factory. I wanted the Sweet Corn Tamale Cakes. Oh they are so good!

The people next to us got their food first and one kid had some really yummy looking mashed potatoes. I asked if I could have a bite. He was a little hesitant but said I could. I didn't though. But when my dinner came I told him what I had and asked if he wanted a bite. He was still enjoying his potatoes so he declined. 

After dinner, Chelsea got some Cheesecake to go and we said our good byes and headed to the Anniversary Inn. We pulled in the driveway and realized that someone forgot to pack toothbrushes so off we went to find a store.

Of the rooms that were available we choose Sultan's Palace. In the morning we slept in. It was so nice. We forgot about the waiting cheesecake the Anniversary Inn had provided the night before so we ate it for breakfast after regular breakfast. We were then able to peek in some rooms on our way out. All I could think of was the money they put in to each room to decorate and the imagination.


We then went to Chelsea's and helped color Easter eggs (no pictures, we should be grounded).

I was able to watch Women's Conference and Chelsea was nice enough to have the kids shush during the conference. She really didn't need to but that was thoughtful. Cookie actually sat by me the whole time while she doodled on her tablet making pictures. Grandpa watched with us...well except when he was studying the back of his eyelids. Bananie read and I'm not sure where the rest disappeared. 

Sunday morning the kids had an Easter egg hunt before we had to rush and get ready for church. They went to their church and Daddy and I went around the corner to ours.
All three meetings were wonderful! I LOVE church and I love the spirit and the reminders and the instructions we receive by attending.

We had a great weekend.

Oh and I read all the way up and all the way back.
For work we will be going to a class and we were asked to read the book Leadership and Self-Deception before the class. We really enjoyed it and were able to finish it. It reminds me a lot of what our apostles and scriptures teach us.

Be kind to others, no matter what!
