MY PERFECT DAY!

Today has been such a great day!!! I was sick last night, with not a lot of great hopes for today, but it turned out to be a beautiful day! I woke up to breakfast in bed provided by my wonderful husband. He's the best! He even made me the famous Mickey Mouse pancake. So cute, a little burnt, but that's how I like it. Haha.

I had a very mellow and serene morning spent with my hubby!! Chris left later in the morning to get some work done. The Missouri Freeman's have an interior decorator to make there house purdy and hired Chris for the day to help move columns. It sounded like a lot of heavy lifting. Poor guy. :) He came home and we both had interviews for jobs today. We had an interview at Olive Garden and Chris had an interview at Lenscrafters. The interview at Olive Garden, I don't think it could have possibly went better. We feel so great about that interview. The hiring manager was amazing and seemed to love us and they're hiring 3 servers, which is great for us, so we'll know by Thursday if we got the job. Keeping our fingers crossed and praying like crazy!

The Lenscrafters interview did not go as well. They pretty much told Chris that they wouldn't hire him. Poor guy. They said that they would need at least 6 months to teach him everything that he would need to know for the position, sadly we will only be here for less than 3 months now. But we have Olive Garden, hopefully!

So while Chris was in at Lenscrafters, I decided I wanted to tour around the mall we were in. I went to one store and ordered an anniversary present since our 1 year anniversary is just over a month away!!! I can't believe it! Time just flies by. I also went to Borders and bought a new cookbook and a Birthday Present for Chris. 1 out of the 3 presents I am working on for him. So 2 down now! Borders is having this great sale! got to books and spent less than $10!!! Awesome!

I also bought Chris' big expensive Birthday present online this morning. Why are boys so expensive??? Luckily we're not paying for anything else right now. :)

AND THAT WAS MY DAY!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

So I have been a horrible blogger since we left Rexburg! Ack! But thats ok. I'm going to tell everyone about our wonderful Mother's Day in Missouri. I got to sleep in, yes! I have been doing a lot of that since we've been here, I can't get to sleep until way late and find myself waking up around 9 every morning, sometimes earlier at about 6. No middle ground. :) 

Well this very special Mother's Day, I was able to sleep in and come downstairs to a breakfast that was prepared by all of the boys, wonderful breakfast. I'm sure glad that breakfast is there thing and not mine. It makes coming down to breakfast and breakfast in bed so much better!!! So we has yummy yummy crepes and everything to go with it! My absolutly wonderful mommy-in-law and I had some Mother's day thing to open. I had a card from my hubby, so sweet! She had a few cards, and Chris and I got her this digital steamer, it looked really cool and she had been talking all that week about this electric steamer that she had had when they were in England, needless to say, SHE LOVED IT! I hope anyways, if she doesn't like it, I will gladly take it home. 

We All went to church together. For lots of candy and cupcakes in Relief Society. It was great! And Terri gave the lesson, every time we're here and she gives a lesson, I always learn so much more about her that I would never get the chance to even wonder. She is truly amazing! I know that I married into one of the best families possible. I love them!

We came home after Chuch and Chris helped me make some mini carrot cakes for his mommy, I changed the recipe a little bit, but they were so good. (I'll post the recipe on my recipe page later on this week!) 

We all had steak for dinner, I have to admit I was a little worried because when it comes to steak I am a little biased and tend not to like anyone's steak other than my Dad's. But I have to say, it was very scrumptious! Sorry dad...

But then again it is....

MOTHER'S DAY!!!
