With Hyrum done with the Academy it was time to celebrate! My sister-in-law Shawna called and put together a surprise dinner last Sat at Texas Road House. I told Hyrum it was time for us to go on a date and kept pushing for Texas Road House, but he was thinking somewhere a little more frugal, so it was tough getting to the restaurant. When we finally got there I told the hostess that we were there for a surprise dinner for my husband and to talk quietly. I asked where our table was and she got on her tippy toes and pointed to where everyone was. I knew Hyrum saw that. So I tried to convince him she told me where the bathroom was and asked him to come with me. He was so confused as to why I couldn't go to the bathroom by myself, but still followed me over. When we got to our table everyone yelled, "SURPRISE!!!" and gave him his HUGE balloons. I'm so excited for everyone to come in March for his grad ceremony so we can really party hardy! Thanks be to those who helped and came to the dinner, you guys are so sweet for doing that!
I just picked up another day at work, but before I did I was only working 3 days a week, so I had some free time. I made bread from scratch for the first time all by myself (Mom, don't tell anybody I called you a bazillion times while making it). I've made lots of banana bread, but never the real deal in my own kitchen. Our house isn't warm enough to have bread rise on its own so I had to stick it in the oven. I would love to make bread every day, but first I need a bread maker. Maybe I shouldn't make it every day cause I could eat the whole loaf in about 10 min.
Next project I did was quilt making. Never have I ever peiced together a quilt. I did it with a friend from the ward, and we spent time getting to know each other while cutting and measuring squares and then sewing them together and laying out the pattern, then sewing together more. I had to go before the border, or trim or whatever you call it was put on.After we sew a couple more things on we are donating to D.I. Call me selfish, but I totally wanted to keep it for myself:)
