But after an amazingly uplifting weekend beginning with a beautiful funeral service for a sweet older woman in our ward whom I wish I had known better,
...and then two inspiring sessions of Stake Conference that made me smile from the inside out, with some great stories told by this man:
Elder Christopher B. Munday of the Seventy
...not to be outdone by deliciously amazing sugar whipped into a wonderfully decadent recipe in the form of Elijah's B'day cheesecake...
...soon followed by the return of the Prodigal Disneyland daughter...
...and last but not least, this happiness greeted me when I opened the fridge to make an omlet this morning...
(oh, that Bethany...)
how can I not be filled with February JOY?
Happy, happy Valentine's Day!
Oh and P.S.: See all those tubs of butter in the background? 19 cents a piece! Thank you coupons.
