A lovely weekend

Josh came home at like 3 a.m. Friday (the test ended early because of wind). We all slept in (very nice) and worked in the yard. Josh cleaned the safety pin out of the DVD player in the van and I put in the walk-way steps. Ellie 'helped' us both.

Then we got to go on a date to the temple - and had a yummy dinner on Temple Square. Very nice.

Saturday we went to se Mike and Holly's new baby and hang out with the family. I got to go shopping by myself for two hours!! I got stuff for my new recipe organization, got Josh a new Sunday shirt, some scrapbooking stuff and a yummy cookie. So lovely to be alone (and fast in the store!)

Sunday was also nice. It is AWESOME when Josh is home to take Ellie out to play in the sand box, 'tuck mommy in for her nap' (before church - this was heavenly), or help her glue shapes.

Here is a picture of me at Enrichment Night about 'putting on the armor of God" AND a picture of my longed-for emergency prep item: a 55-gallon water bucket! Now if the world ends, we will be able to get a drink and maybe flush the toilet once a day. Happiness!
