Random Thoughts from Home

So the baby of the family will turn 17 this Thursday! How did this happen? Happy birthday Brady! He's at Silverwood today, having run a x-country race and then spending the rest of the day at the theme park.

We got a huge watermelon from Br. Thomas and since Dad had just bought a watermelon I had to go to the internet for ideas on how to preserve one of them. So I quick froze chunks of watermelon and then put the frozen chunks in container that went back into the fridge. Now when I want watermelon I just pull some out and serve it with ice crystals still on it. I'll let you know how it works. I also got about 4 cups of mushrooms from my friend Andrea at work that I quick froze and put into containers. I will blend them into sauces and casseroles where they will not be detected by picky eaters.

I have been preparing for the first day of seminary this Monday. Hooray! I have missed this spiritual boost and being with the students keeps me young! And teaching Book of Mormon again is just icing on the cake!!! We have our seminary kick-off fireside tomorrow night as well.

So we have Stake/Regional conference this weekend. Dad is at priesthood leadership meeting and then he'll come home, grab a bite and we'll be off to the adult session. Tomorrow at 10:00am we will meet in our building and have a satellite broadcast from Salt Lake. I'm excited because they're always so uplifting and motivating.

I have so enjoyed your blogs with pictures and comments. They are all wonderful and keep us all connected which is great. Keep up the good work and I will do my best not to forget to post and keep you up to date on what's going on back home.

Here's a recipe I found from a new favorite site that I'm making for a quick meal tonight.
