General Conference

I'm so excited for General Conference this weekend! I love to have two full days to listen to our prophet and other church leaders! It truly is a blessing to live so close to it all. I remember roomies and friends in college who had never even met or seen a general authority in person. I remember thinking just how blessed I was to have grown up where I did, where we were privileged to attend Conference and firsides with our great leaders.

I remember when I was really little, Presideny Monson came to a stake or reginal conference in my home town. As my dad and I were leaving we ran into President Monson. He shook my dad's hand and greeted him, then he patted me on the head and said, "You are the cutest little girl I've ever seen." Now I don't say this to brag, but to share a memory I have personally with our beloved prophet. I can't wait to hear his voice this weekend.

Wow! This is Amazing!

When I got this video, I thought it was like all the other junk you get in the email from friends and family that want you to "pass it on if you believe in the cause" or whatever...Well this one truely brought tears to my eyes it was so moving! I hope you enjoy it!

Canning Machine!

So last weekend my mom and I spent our Saturday...canning! Its about that time of year right? Except we weren't canning the usual fruit, veggies, etc. We canned bread! Yep you can can bread :) We also canned hamburger, taco meat, and stew meat. All ready to go into yummy dishes! And yes we tried them to make sure they were good...and they were awesome! The bread we made was Zuchinni bread--12 batches to be exact. One was chocolate with chips, another with pecans and chips, another was walnuts and raisins, and finally one just plain. I swear we had like 30 bottles of bread! It was an adventure, but they turned out great after the 1st 2 batches. And what is awesome...is bread/cake/brownies all last up to 10 years and are still moist and yummy! I just can't wait to try white and wheat breads :)
