25 Random Things About Me Tag

1. I love circles, I want everything in my house to have circles on it. Just looking at them makes me smile.

2. My favorite food is pot roast and I would eat it every night if I could (It has to be beef though, I'm not a fan of pork).

3. Growing up I always hung out with "the guys" however when I meet a special girlfriend our bonds we make are for a lifetime.

4. I have never been crafty, but the last 6 months I have dreams of making crafts. However in my dreams they always turn out better then in real life.

5. I am a co-dependant of my mother. I have to talk to her everyday. And usually multiple times a day. Every year she goes on a two week camping trip where there is no cell service and it about kills me.

6. The greatest thing in my life is the gospel...what more can I say.

7. When I was little the only thing I wanted to me when I grew up was a mother. Now that the time is about here, it terrifies me.

Brown-Sugar Pound Cupcakes!

Yesterday I made some delicious

Brown-Sugar Pound Cupcakes

for a lady's birthday that Zechary

home teaches. After delivering them

last night We had about 10 or so left.

We were robbed in the middle of the night!

Of Cupcakes I mean. I woke up and now there

are only a few left. I know it couldn't have

been my darling husband in the middle of the

night. I found the recipe on Marthstewart.com

I would recommend everyone try them.

Becky Vip, this is for you!

I always here this talk about how you love Martha, so yesterday I found myelf exploring her website. All I can say is AMAZING. I am headed to the craft store tomorrow. I love it! Thanks for the pointer!

This is how I feel...

As we are trying to get ready for our sealing tomorrow I just now finally realized just how much I need to do. I'm trying to get everything done so we can be in Idaho Falls by 2:30 to pick up my parents. I don't know that everything will get done.

My Testimony

Since I went to the temple for my endowment yesterday I felt as though I was obligated to bare my testimony in church. I personally only wanted to do it in RS however Zechary made me share in sacrament. And I say MADE ME. I'm not one that likes to talk in public, I am rather a one on one type of person. Sometimes I feel as though because I have not been a member for very long maybe my testimony isn't good enough and that people will make fun of me. However my fabulous mother-in-law asked if I would share this, so here you are Donna! Here is my testimony especially for you. Love you!

I want everyone to know I have a testimony of this Gospel. I know Jesus Christ lives and I know he atoned for our sins. I know my heavenly father loves me and knows me personally. I know he cares about me and I look forward to the day I can be with him again. After going through the temple yesterday I can know say, I have a testimony of the temple. Of the sweet yet strong spirit that is there. I know for certain that the temple is the house of the lord and the ordinances preformed there are God's true works. I have a testimony of the power of service. I often believe that I get more out of serving others then the people we are helping. I have personally experienced the blessings that come from visiting and home teaching. I have had the opportunity to experience changes in peoples lives because of it. I am thankful that Zech and I have had the chance to go out together and spend time with some of the inactive people in our ward. I'm so thankful for my husband and the great person and example that he is. I'm grateful that he pushes me to do things that I don't want to do. I"m thankful that we can be sealed in a few weeks and that we will get to be together with our family for eternity. I love the members of this church and the friendships I have made. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
