Just wanted to share some pictures of our yummy dinner. We stopped in Springfield, Missouri and ate at a place we found online called Grad School. It was definitely hole-in-the-wall material with the cooks and waiters being heavily tatooed and bearded (except our waitress - she wasn't bearded). The food ranged from fish tacos to big burgers, homemade fries, hummus, wings, etc. It was served on trendy plates, which didn't really go with the greasy atmosphere, but the food was good and we enjoyed it. My only complaint was that the music was too loud and more along the lines of dance club music.
Fried tilapia tacos. Nummy - though nothing compared to the ones I had in San Diego years ago. 
The Full Ride burger - best part is that it was freshly grilled and the sharp white cheddar in the middle wasn't so bad, either!
Yummy wings in a sort of gravy, Asiany sauce.But here we are in St. Louis! We went to a Stake Conference this morning where Elder Oaks spoke. It was so packed that we ended up in an overflow room and the kids were very well behaved.
Then we spent the afternoon with a friend of mine from college. We shared M,W,F Dance 180 and immediately afterwards, a Shakespeare's rhetoric class. We were both English majors, loved to dance, of Italian heritage, and going through heartbreaks. We became great friends but lost touch until just recently. She's the type of friend that you know for sure Heavenly Father put in your path for a certain purpose! What a difference she made to my junior year of college!
They have three girls - Esther fits right between their two oldest - and they all got along fabulously! It was fun to catch up after so many years.
Daron takes off tomorrow morning to New Orleans for an oral argument in an appeal. He'll be back Tuesday afternoon/evening in time for us to drive up to Nauvoo on Wednesday. In the meantime, the kids and I will play with Emily and her girls.
