This and that

It's the third week in December. It has snowed and been super cold up until this week. I have been studying and researching photography, web design stuff, and figuring out how to work Abobe. I will say that my brain is tired, but I'm loving it. Life is so much better when you have things to keep you busy:)



Miss C has been a riot this week. She is perfecting a new "screech" that she's figured out she can vocalize:) It cracks me up. I don't remember laughing at B like I do her, but I was telling my preggo sister that I think it's because I need the comedy relief from the stress of my 4 year old!




Yesterday was full of productive-ness! My MIL and I (and a little help from B) made some fun Christmas food. She found a recipe for soft sugar cookies. So we made some up.




yumm-o! They were soft and were quite close to the cookies at walmart with all the fatty frosting on them,...you know the ones I mean:)



We only had one casualty batch!




I had the pleasure of making my FAVORITE cookies ever. I thought they were some awesome secret family thing, but after looking on the label for calories, (these are 192 by the way!) I saw the recipe right on back. So go buy some white chocolate bark(my personal fav) and whip up a batch:)



Merry Christmas!

It's officially the Christmas season! Goodness:) We had a very nice weekend. It started out normal, hanging around the house in our sweats, but we ended saturday night with a trip to Salt Lake to see the lights. It was gorgeous. Words really can't explain how pretty it was. We have been here about 3 1/2 years and this was our first trip downtown to see them. How sad is that! But we took the train down because we thought Mr. B would really enjoy it...and he did:) He was the conductor:) It was very cute.

I'll have to say that I'm quite sure winter is officially here also....it was COLD! It had snowed earlier in the day, not enough to do any real damage, but enough that it stayed with the cold weather. We bundled up the kids the best we could, and I think Caitlyn was the warmest one:) She was in her baby tai on me under blankets. When I took her out of it to eat she was very toasty. We had a wonderful time:)



And to the title of this post...it has been 6 years today that I have been a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. How amazing is that! It was really neat for me to have this anniversary be on fast Sunday this year. I was the only one that was able to make it to church today and in doing that I enjoyed the very sweet Spirit of my new ward. It reminded me a lot of our branch in NH. There wasn't 10 or 15 minutes in between testimonies, and they were so strong with the Spirit. I was so moved that I even got myself up out of the back row and bore mine!!!! HOLY MOLY!

I'll reiterate and expound on what I said and what I would have said if I wasn't a blubbering fool! :) I'm thankful for my membership in this church, the blessings it has given me in my life. My family, my self worth. I know without a doubt that I am 'somebody' to my Heavenly Father and he IS watching over me. I'm thankful for this humble ward we are a part of right now. I'm thankful that my Savior Jesus Christ laid the way for me to realize the path I needed to choose in life and help me on it. I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and hope that you can feel the love that I have felt today throughout this season. :) Much love,


Meg
