My Saturday Night...

Let me start this story with the fact that Chris was called to be the Executive Secretary in our ward about 2 months ago. So tonight was the bishopric Christmas dinner and my husband had to work (of course). So I debated and debated whether or not to go. Finally, I decided to go if for nothing else, a night away with other adults! I am so glad I went. I certainly appreciate these men (and their wives) for all they do for our ward! We had a really great dinner and some really good conversation. But the highlight of the evening was when the Bishop's wife handed out presents. I almost cried when I opened it. What a beautiful quilt! She has made the most amazing quilts and I am so blessed to own one now!
