Saturday we went to work. Then we came home and made dinner for a couple of other couples in the ward, the Stonemans and the Botterons. We had BBQ pork ribs (Kory's specialty), salad from the Botterons, and pineapple from the Stonemans. The cool thing about the pineapple is that one of my Hawaii Del Sol roomies, Katie Hanks, got us a pineapple cutter as a wedding gift! We got to use it! It was awesome, it cuts the fruit out of the skin and core. I have included some pictures from the pineapple fun. After dinner, which was amazing, we played Ticket to Ride and ate vanilla pudding pie (yum!). I love that dessert because it is the easiest thing every and people are always glad I made it.
It felt like the night was over after dinner and games with friends. But Kory and I still had our own little date after that. We went and saw the "Humor U" stand up comedy show on campus. That was way fun. We really enjoyed it. Tickets for $3 you can't really beat that.
Sunday was a busy day as always. Kory got a new calling in our ward. He will be teaching Elder's Quorum. He will be really good at that.
Family home evening was really fun last night. Family home evening is something that we do every Monday night to help our family come closer together and to also strengthen our testimonies of the gospel (Because "families are the most important social unit in time and in eternity"). Kory and I got a really great book as a wedding gift "Family Home Evening for Newlyweds." We did an activity from the book where it give you a bunch of sentences that you have to finish about each other:
1. You make me laugh when...
2. You amke me love you when...
3. You make me happy when...
4. You make me feel special when...
5. You make me feel closer to Heavenly Father when...
etc. We had a lot of fun completing the 12 sentences. It was a really feel-good activity. Then we read part of a chapter from a John Bytheway book. It was great!
