Thanks Sweetie!

I just need to make a quick post to thank my sweet Brian for spoiling me rotten on Mother's Day! You would not believe it, but following church, he surprised me by fixing me a feast! Seriously, a feast! When he finally let me come into the kitchen, the table was full of sauteed shrimp (to die for!), a fruit platter with fresh pineapple, watermelon, cantalope, strawberries, kiwi, grapes, apples and pears, chips and fresh salsa, a caesar salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, and carrots on the side, and teriyaki chicken! The girls were so great to jump in and help dad too! Thanks so much, family of mine! (Now, if there was only a way to celebrate Mother's Day every Sunday...)

Wow, impressive! That is so nice! Kory did make me dinner too, but it was Nachos...but to make it special we had an avocado to eat with it...which I had to cut up though... But I think we might have to put Brian on kitchen duty when you are here so he can teach Kory a thing or two! What a sweety!

Also, so funny that we picked the same background! I originally wanted a different one, but my friend had it.. I wouldn't care if we matched! We must have the same taste, huh?!

Dang, Brian! AWESOME!!! I'm real glad you got spoiled so well! And, funny, but Kenna changed her blog yesterday to this same layout, too! I guess she didn't see you or Val... :)

Yo Karmen, I love Shrimp! You lucky lady, I'm sure you totally deserved that delicious feast!

I keep meaning to ask you if you know the Gochnour family. Jennifer Gochnour is a college buddy of mine from Burley Idaho. I know it's a small place, so probably pretty likely!
