This past week we got to spend lots of time with John's family. His youngest sister Monica's birthday was Saturday so we had a surprise party for her on Thrusday. We left early Friday morning for a town called Crystal River where the annual retreat for my program was being held. I had to give a presentation that morning and John stayed to hear me speak. He got pretty bored though and left to go do other things while I listened to talks the rest of the morning. Our room was really nice and had a huge super comfy bed and a great view of the river. We got to go swimming and hot tubing that night. The next morning we went to the last of the presentations and then it was time for the beach! The beach was about 10 miles from our hotel so how could we not go? We were only there for about an hour but we both got pretty burned and are still sore.
Saturday night we went to another one of John's sister's house to celebrate Monica's actual birthday. The Gordons do birth"weeks"s not really birth"day"s. They have this cool X-box game like Karoke called Lips with microphones that you sing into and compete against someone else. It's pretty fun and we got to play for a while that night. Sunday was mother's day and we took John's grandma to church. She is in our ward but can't go very often for health reasons. She seemed to really like going and I think it really made her day. We all met over at her house that evening for dinner to celebrate and give John's mom her presents. We made her a mini scrapbook called a brag book with pictures of all her kids and grandkids. We also got to talk to my mom on the phone for a while. It was a pretty busy weekend but we also got some time to have fun and relax too.
