Marble Magnets

I got bored the other day and made some marble magnets I saw online. SO much fun! Seriously, it's addicting. Above was made from my Christmas wrapping paper. Don't worry, I've made more since then! (They seriously ARE addicting!) Lucky for everyone I'm not posting them because my internet is getting turned off tomorrow in prep for the big move.

Concert

These are some pictures from the Mindy Gledhill Concert. (yeah, I know it was forever ago, but this blog isn't my life so I post at my leisure) My lovely cousin Maria and Mrs. Beth! I'm sorry, but I am in love with this poster. Maria put a lot of thought into it and it is SO stinkin' cute. I still can't get over it!

A few more aprons I made a while back.

This one is made out of a shirt and a scarf.

Andrew sings Pie Jesu

I love this video! He did an amazing job!

Family Night

Last night we decided to walk around the temple and it was WONDERFUL!!! Christmas lights everywhere, no crowd, and it was warm! Much better than going in December!

Packing, applesauce, and a NIGHTMARE!

We are still packing like CRAZY! Yay for owning TOO MUCH STUFF! Clark and I will be staying one month more, which means we'll be here for Christmas! (It's just too bad we got rid of our couch, t.v., kitchen table, and counter top)

Last Friday I conned mom into helping me make applesauce - aka mom making it for me while I try to make a mental note on everything she's doing so I can do it someday? (thanks mom) It took us most of the day and we made 15 jars! I am SO excited because there's NOTHING better than homemade applesauce!

Last night I had a NIGHTMARE. Cindy, it was mostly about you. I dreamed that you and Glenn weren't married yet, you were dating, and for years. You guys got in a tiny argument and Glenn eloped with someone else without saying anything. I was hysterical because in an instant you were no longer a part of our family. LUCKILY I woke up but I was still upset by it and I just want to say I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE IN OUR FAMILY!!!!

WAPF Chapter

I've been a little nervous about food in Missouri. Here I have a WONDERFUL cousin who gives me the best cow milk for FREE! An AMAZING friend who gives me some of the healthiest chicken eggs for free. Of course there will be cows and chickens in MO, but will they be healthy!? Today I contacted the group leader for the local chapter in Springfield, MO. He has a website here. Not only is there a great BEEF source in Springfield, but a RESTAURANT!!!! As in I DON'T HAVE TO COOK IT!!!! (not that I ever do cook thanks to my wonderful husband who happens to love it) For those of you who are wondering what WAPF is or what I mean by local chapter, let me explain. Weston A. Price Foundation is a non-profit charity founded to disseminate the research of Weston A. Price. (research done in the 30s showing that humans achieve perfect physical form and health when they eat nutrient-dense food) The foundation has three purposes: educate, research, and activate. There are local chapters all over the world. These groups have meetings and potlucks and an online community talk to each other about any questions and to list sources for finding the freshest food possible in your community or online. There is a cookbook to teach you how to eat and prepare food the way our ancestors did for thousands of years. I thought Heather was crazy when she first introduced this book to me, but all it took was a taste of some of her oatmeal that had me first hooked! I went to a local potluck and it was all over from there! I never ate so much good food in my life! I thought I about died and went to heaven! I had more energy after I ate, instead of being tired, and I ate their desserts (a lot actually) and I didn't get the usual sick to my stomach you get when you eat too much sweets. All this food talk is making me hungry. Later.
