Going Once, Going Twice, OH!...what a fun weekend!!

Friday (Feb 20th), After Daniel got home from School, we walked back to Base for a few things then we walked over to Blockbuster to get our "free movie rental" for the month...after we picked out a movie ("Monster in Law"), we decided to walk to Krista & Joe's since it'd take about the same amount of time either way, and they had offered us a ride to the Ward's YM/YW Chili Cook off/Bake Sale where we enjoyed good company, lots of laughs and good chili!

Krista's son Joshua's Chili was the Winner!! -Good Job Josh!! and Thanks again for the Ride! :-)

It was fun watching the Bake Sale/auction...it was crazy too! lol, one of the Cakes went for $100!!-NO JOKE!! ...and everything else went for $15+...that is except for the Cherry Cheese Cake that Daniel bid $5 for (as "opening bid") and apparently nobody heard what it was, because we got it for $5!!! :-D ...and it was GOOD!! lol, Daniel was like a kid, as soon as we got home, he grabbed a spoon and was gonna "dig in!"...I talked him into having 1/4 then and saving some for the next day lol.
Saturday we just hung out at home all day, but Sunday was our Ward Conference and they did the Meetings in reverse order so that the Ward that goes before us could join us for Relief Society/Priesthood. All of the lessons/talks were great!...It was a nice day and the Spirit was definitely there!...I loved it!!!
Lol, after the first meeting, one of the brothers in the Bishopric came and asked me if I would say the closing prayer in Sacrament Meeting and before I even realized I'd said it, I agreed!...then I realized what I'd just agreed too and thought, "oh boy," lol...I was relieved that it was only a Prayer and not a Talk!!...
Sister Patti F. invited us over for Sunday dinner and her Husband picked us up at 5:pm. We had a wonderful time visiting with them, their daughter and the missionaries...and the dinner was Gr8!! heehee...it was one of my favorites too!! (Mom used to make it for us, growin' up)...It was Venison, Mashed Potatoes & gravy, Cooked Broccoli, Mac & Cheese and biscuits!!!...hmmm it was SOOO good!! :-) ~Thank you Patti & family!!
