Mothers Day!

Today the family that I am working with decided that we were all going to go out to dinner to celebrate Mothers Day. Dining out is something that I don't do very often so I always feel awkward when going to fancy places to eat. This particular place is an old plantation home that has been converted to a bed and breakfast/restaurant. It was a very pretty building. It was a very interesting and long dinner. We were accompanied by a friend of the family who happens to be a very smart and well known scientist. You know how things go when you talk to people who naturally think on a higher brain wave than most human kind? Well, usually the jabber is accompanied by a glazing of the eyes cause the subject matter is only understood by very few people that somehow manage to keep the conversation going while the rest of us sit there hoping that food will come so that their mouths will be occupied long enough for your brain to stop hurting. Well, imagine having dinner with a couple people like that. Lets just say that it was a very long 2 hour lunch. Although the building was extremely beautiful, you would think that for 60 bucks a person that the food would have been better. The redeeming quality of my day however occurred after dinner. We all came back home from the restaurant and I received a phone call from my younger brother who is serving a LDS mission in Nebraska. I know to some that talking to their family isn't exactly a highlight... but for me it is. My younger brother Derek just happens to be my favorite person on the planet! I was so excited to be able to chat with him for a while and am super excited that he will be done with his mission in just a few months. I love you Derek! Also, since it is Mothers Day, I will give a shout out to my mom.... YO MOMMY! I love you!
