And Taneil got this for me - I just gave away my other Texas Longhorns shirt because it was a little small, and am so glad I have a new one now :)
The highlight, of course, was General Conference. Getting to hear our Prophet's speak is such a blessing. And modern day technology makes it available and even better, as we get to go back and review what they said. One of my favorite talks was about raising kids, and giving them the freedom and agency to learn from their own mistakes. We don't even have children, but I liked it :) Probably because I thought it would be good for KASE and I to hear. It is called "Only Upon the Principles of Righteousness" by Larry Y. Wilson of the seventy. We got to go out to eat at Chili's that night on a gift card we got from our wedding. All the phone calls, messages, emails, etc. Were wonderful! And of course, the extra cash from both sets of parents was very nice as well. Thanks to all who made it a wonderful day!
Kase isn't a big birthday person, but he decided, half way through the day, that even though I felt entitled to a perfect day (we probably shouldn't feel entitled to anything) that he would treat me like a Princess (not that he doesn't already...). I was glad he caught on, even though he himself doesn't understand why birthdays are anything special. But I think it's okay to have one day a year to feel a little different and special :)
