Book Club

So the book club book was going to be "In the time of the butterflies" but it got to graffic for the sweet old ladies in my ward. I have chosen a great replacement through the advice of an old friend (Heidi). The book is "Peace like a river." I am about half way through it, and it is wonderful. Add it to your list of books to read.

Youth Conference

I'm off for the next few days for stake youth conference. I guess this is what I reap because I sowed soo many years as a youth ditching conferences like this. Wish me luck!

Book Club

My book club began with three women and for this book we had 8! It was wonderful. This was a wonderful book about a man who was a secret agent for the US in Russia. It was filled with his many adventures and struggles. I was lucky enough to have my visiting teacher from Bulgaria come and share what it was like growing up in a communist country. It made me truly grateful to live in a free country. I highly suggest it. Our next book is "In the time of the butterflies".

Baby Savvy

Savannah is going to fit perfectly in the family.
This is her still smiling after several hours of
shopping with Auntie Dani and Momma Tiff.

Courtie Pie

I am so proud to say that this is my baby sister. She is amazing! She is doing a service study abroad in Guadalajara Mexico. She lives with a native family, goes to class in the morning and spends the afternoon at this school with these beautiful children. She's in the red tee. Courtie pie you are missed and we can hardly wait for you to be home, but enjoy it while you are there. Friends who have studied abroad, please comment your most encouraging thoughts on what those studies abroad have brought to your lives.

U-pick Farms

I didn't know that Utah had "pick your own" farms. I was so excited about the idea when I read it in Cooking Light's May issue. The idea is that you go to these farms pick your own fruit/veggies and pay about 25% less because you cut out the middle man. You can check out pickyourown.org to find a farm near you, or click here if you live in Utah. What an awesome summer time activity!

New Dessert

In this months Cooking Light there is a great new recipe for caramel lovers. It is called Caramel Layer cake. It is delish, how do I know? there was none left.
