Our weekend started with the preparation for Rebecca's surprise 18th birthday party. Richard had her believing that we were doing a catering gig for Tom on Saturday. She helped shop for it and prepare some of the food. She was pretty upset that she was going to be without her family on Saturday because of the catering gig.
At 3:45 Richard went to get Rebecca's friend Tiffany so that they could go to the movies to celebrate Rebecca's birthday. They went to see the new Spiderman movie, which was one and a half hours later. We were at home doing the final food prep and setting up the house and backyard and doing some last minute cleaning. At 6:15 people started arriving. By 6:45 we had about 35 people in our house. We got the call that they were on their way home and we all headed outside to surprise her. The look on her face was priceless! She was so surprised! We had alot of fun and she really enjoyed herself. Later she told Richard that she was going to miss us tomorrow while we were at Tom's catering event. Richard spilled the beans to her about it being a lie. Strange enough she never put it all together, especially after she saw the food we said was for Tom being served at her party.
The best part of that day was when Rebecca went to take a shower and my sister wanted to go dump a glass of cold ice water on her. Richard said he would take care of it and he filled up a pitcher with ice and water. Yes he filled up a one gallon pitcher. We snuck into the bathroom and Richard dumped it on her. Her exact word were "What did you get me wet with?". It was hilarious.
Conference was amazing! Dallin H Oakes talk was the best one! Of course the Prophet too, but I really like how Oakes gave it to us! I can't wait for his talk to be published in next monthes Ensign! There were alot of good talks especially the one from the female speakers. I liked her phrase, "First Observe, then Serve".
What talks did you like at conference?!?!
