Church was wonderful. It was our second week in our new ward here in Missouri and I continue to be in awe at how kind and welcoming everyone is. Sacrament meeting the primary children sang and it always makes me smile hearing the cute singing voices of the little kids. The young men passed out a little bag of treats for each of the sisters. At first Michael and I thought they were brightly colored gum balls. Which we thought was an odd choice for a Mother's Day gift, especially considering the many older sisters in the ward. Later, when we got to the car we were relieved to discover they were just large malt balls! In Relief Society they arranged to have all the women be able to meet together. They had some yummy crackers and dips, and fresh fruit for us to enjoy as we visited for a few minutes before the lesson (which was perfect, I always get so hungry when we have 1 o'clock church!). I was lucky enough to sit next to two younger sisters, one of which lives in our same apartment complex, and the other, her sister-in-law, who I discovered also lived nearby and who graduated from high school the same year as me. It is always nice to discover other young married girls with so many similarities to me- she and her husband were married just a couple of months before Michael and me.
After church we came home to a delicious smelling apartment! That morning, before leaving for church, Michael had gotten some boneless pork ribs started in the crock pot. He even researched a rub he could put on them, then smothered them in some yummy St. Louis bbq sauce. We also enjoyed a yummy salad and fresh (from the freezer to the oven :D ) bread! It was a delicious meal that Michael did all on his own and he even did all the dishes afterwards! He is a great cook and I love when he treats me to a special dinner. A lady at church asked me what we were doing for Mother's Day dinner and she was so surprised to hear that Michael had a dinner planned. She thought it was so sweet. I truly am lucky to have such a thoughtful (and handsome) husband! It was a wonderful day and I am so glad I got to spend it with him. And someday I can't wait to spend it with a houseful of kids, which Michael says we aren't having, but I know he is just joking! ;)
We got to talk to both of our wonderful Mamas. It was nice to talk to both of them, we just wished we could have been in 2 places at once to celebrate with them both. I can't wait to spend some time with my Mama in just one month!! We then finished up the evening with some episodes of Saved by the Bell and Psych...some of our recent favorites! Thank you to both of our loving mothers and thank you to my wonderful husband for loving me and making this such a wonderful Mother's Day!
