On Sunday, after getting officially released by the Stake President, and attending our old ward (it’s a long story: we met our Bishop for the first time…to say hello and goodbye, as we will actually be attending another ward since we will be living with Liz…), we got ready for yet another party over at my son Mike’s house.

It was my birthday, the anniversary of my father’s death in 2011, and the date we were released from what could be our last mission. Quite memorable day!

When arriving at Mike’s I discovered that he had chickens! I guess South Jordan allows you to have 6 chickens. After being introduced, it was time for a great Brazilian dinner and a birthday cake: my favorite– pinapple upsidedown cake.

I made a wish for Terri and I– that we can quickly adjust to normal life!
