My favorite day of the week!

I was recently asked "What is your favorite day of the week". In my younger years, I would probably very quickly reply "Friday, because it starts off the weekend!!". But I have to say, after truly pondering this question, that Sunday is my favorite day of the week. This is an observation I have recently discovered and something I visibly notice as compared to every other day of the week. Why you ask? Pure and simple, I am my happiest on Sunday. I love everything about it. It puts me in such a good mood and gives me time to reflect.

I look forward to going to church every Sunday and be greeted by my lovely Miamaid class girls in YW and realize, week by week, how much they really teach me instead of the other way around. Funny how that happens. They truly amaze me with their insight and knowledge. I love being 1st counselor in the YW program. My calling is the best and I absolutely LOVE being their leader. It rocks!

Sunday is also the one day that we are all together without any other prior engagements or obligations to be anywhere or do anything. Strictly family time (minus the occasional sibling arguments that ensue...not too fond of that!). But, it gives us a chance to spend time with each other.... and reconnect. That's the best!

What's YOUR favorite day of the week?!

Chocolate and strawberry....mmmmm!

We decided to celebrate Todd's 39th birthday inspired by the "Winnie the Pooh" ride at DisneyWorld! At the end of the ride in the very last room is where Pooh and all his friends have a birthday party celebration and the cake is a strawberry cake with chocolate frosting. Todd looked at me and said "I've never had that kind of cake before, I wonder if it's any good". Well, that just planted the seed and I HAD to make it for his birthday. Was it good? Well, lets just say I made it on Thursday and by Friday, the whole cake was gone!....ummm...yeah, it was GOOD!!
