Wednesday, March 11th we were invited to go to Shaylas birthday dinner. It was a lot of fun. Every year Chris and Amber take the birthday child to dinner at the restaurant of their choice. This time Shayla choose IHOP. We had not been to IHOP since before our mission so it was a great choice. Dad and I actually picked her up at her house so we were able to spend a little time with Jesse, Levi and McKindy too. Shayla was so excited to go. We met Chris, Amber and Shelby there. We had a great time and had the best waiter. As we talked to him throughout the dinner I finally asked if he was from around there and he said "yes" and then he asked where we were from. After telling him we were from California and we were here on a mission to Temple Square he said "I was at the Salt Lake Temple this morning". We mentioned that we had been there too. He said "I thought you looked familiar. Were you at the 9:00AM session?" We said yes and he said that was the session he was in too. What a small world. Here we were in Riverton and of all the restaurants in SLC Shayla choose that one and of all their waiters and waitresses we got him. He was soooo nice and fun. Shayla had a great time with her hot chocolate and milk shakes and pancakes. He made sure she didn't run out of whipping cream on her pancakes too.
