its been a bit...

so, as you might have already noticed...i have not been blogging as much as i should have been...but to be completely honest, not much has happepend. at least not everyday. today (tonight) i am going to attempt to play catch up, and let you know what is going on in my life. i have been doing a lot of cooking lately. as it turns out i am so sick of eating out, that i have loved making dinner. i have made burritos, chili, potato soup, chicken and stuffing, and others i just cannot remember right now. but it really has been a lot of fun. (: this past weekend i spent some time with aunt bonnie... i also got to see bruce, kim, and family...and that was a lot of fun. it amazes me how much those kids have grown, i really enjoyed spending time just chatting. i was suprized to learn that bruce had just had his appendix out!!! wow! i am so glad that he is okay! it was a fun afternoon. bonnie and i ended up going to get some material, and then stopped at this place called "spoons and spices" (or something like that) and i was able to find a pan that i have been looking for forever! it was pretty cheap too for cast iron, so i bought it! i was really excited. we stopped by walmart on our way back to bonnies, and my car freaked out. BUMMER! i was not too happy about it. we spent the next hour waiting for the tow guy to come and get my car, and then we finally went back to bonnies! we watched "the ultimate gift" while i wrote a talk for church. for those of you who have not seen this movie it really is a good family movie, i think that it has a good message. i watched it again today...i really do love it! today was a good day. bonnie drove me home and stayed in my ward while i gave my talk. i talked about the 9th article of faith and how we can receive personal revelation. it went okay, i dont particularly enjoy speaking in church though. after church we had a linger longer and they made us spaghetti dinner. it was pretty good and it was nice to get to know the ward a bit better. today i also was given a new calling. i am the FHE coordinator. i think that they said i have a partner, but she is really busy with work...so it might just be me. i am only really supposed to go to the ward for another couple of years, but i think it will be a good experience for now...so if any of you have any great group FHE ideas...i would love love love to get them...anything! (: this afternoon i decided to put my new pan to use... i called my gma for the recipe and made a yummy yummy meal! it is more of something that you would eat for breakfast, with cinn/sugar i have had them since i was little. it is a danish dish, and we called them ebbelskews. that is not what they are called...but they are really good! so i seasoned my new pan and put it to good use! it worked amazing..and they were really yummy!
