Twilight Movie

Twilight
I got an text from a friend (Thanks Erin!) a month ago and it was about the Twilight Movie. The offer was that we could buy tickets to see the movie and we got a "goodie" bag etc. I decided to go for it. Sent the email out and requested 5 tickets. I got a response back that I had 5 tickets for the movie and all the information. I asked a couple of friends and of course they were very excited and wanted to go.
So, Saturday morning we all meet up at my house and headed out. We left around 9 am. We got to the theater in Cool Springs and got our "goodie" bag and stopped by the bathroom and then we to get a seat. When we entered the theater I was not ready for the huge crowed. The theater was almost full. We found seats up front (not my favorite place but oh well). We looked through our "goodie" bag and then the raffle started. Ann's number was called and so we cheered! She got to pick what was left of the pile of Twilight items. She got a hat. Erin and her sister Lauren also had their numbers called they got a shirt and signed photo. We were very excited.
The movie started and it was the wrong color. The crowd cheered and was very excited. They stopped the movie and started it again. The crowd reacted of course but it was much better fixed. The crowd reacted through out the movie more than the movied called for. It was funny. I want to see it again when the crowd will be normal. We had a great time. The movie was good but not as good as the book. They always have to change things to get everything in. I think they did a good job overall. Everyone had a great time traveling to the movie and then on the way home. It was fun to relax and talk and catch up on what was going on in each others lives.

Santa Cookies

I have made these cookies for the last couple of years. They are fun to make and do not require me to bake. I go to a cookie party every December and I make 12 dozen of these Santa Cookies! I have made other cookies but these always seem to be a hit!

Here is what you need to make the Santa Cookies:

• Nutter Butter Cookies
• White Chocolate or Bark
• White Chocolate Chips
• Red Hots
• Red Sugar
• Chocolate Chips (melt to make the eyes)

Nutter Butter cookies can be used to make ghosts and reindeer as well.

The womens group at church is having a Service Auction. We take a quiz when we get to the event and get play money based on your score. What is on the quiz? Everyday things, how much laundry have you done this week and did you fold it? Did you pray this morning? Did you say I love you to someone in your family? Read your scriptures? Make your bed? Everyone then gets the play money. We then bid on Services or goods that we have all donated. I am donating, some of my jam, canned peaches and cookies. It is always fun to see everyone bid and I like to see the talents others have. I learn a lot about other women at church and have a lot of fun talking and socializing.

The Year of the Dog

I just finished reading this fun novel for children.

The Year of the Dog by Grace Lin is a fun book to read that teaches about different cultures and living in the US. I like the friendships and the experience as school and her mother's stories. The different kinds of food was interesting to hear about as well.

This is an easy read and lots of fun!

Have you heard of Dr. John R. Christopher?

Okay, a friend of mine and my Mother have referred me to Dr. John R. Christopher. I have not taken the time, yet to read over everything. I don't know if that is possible. I have been using the search option on the website and have looked up words and phrases. Very interesting so far.

The radio show sounds interesting as well under FAQ. (Wish I was in UT, listened to a few sound clips)

Hormone Creams

Okay, If you are a man you can stop reading this post!

I have been using Arbonne-Prolief now for over a year now with great results. I feel better and I am not so moody and I have a regular cycle! This is a big deal since I have never had a regular cycle so far in my life! I became an Arbonne Consultant and have purchased some of their products. If you are having a problem with your hormones and want to try something safe and different, call me and we can talk. I am not an expert and I know everyone's body is different.

Church Youth Trip-June 2008

I got the privilege of going with the youth (16-18 years old) on a church trip to Palmyra, NY and Kirtland, OH in June. What a great trip. Here are some of the pictures I took and some of my random thoughts.



This is in Kirtland. The youth were great. We had a good time touring. The youth were with the stake, the rest of us adults were all together.



Here are the Bishops. What a great group of men!



We asked the men to take a picture of us and they would not tell us when they were taking the picture. Hence, I have three pictures that are all crazy!



This is the group of youth I was with at the Palmyra Temple. It was a great experience. It was so peaceful and quiet and the view was so beautiful.



We got to go to the Sacred Grove. The youth were told to be quiet and reverent. They were to walk around, pray and read their scriptures. It was nice to stretch my legs and be still and enjoy nature. I now know a little bit of why Joseph Smith decided to pray in these woods.



I did not know this at the time but these are wild roses.



Here is the whole group of youth on top of the Hill Cumorah in NY. What a great trip. I took a lot of pictures but can not post them all.

I am very thankful that I was able to go and spend time with the youth and strengthen my testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am thankful for my ancestors who traveled through these places and the trials they bore because of their testimonies. I hope to live up to the legacy they left me.

Ocoee River Whitewater Rafting

In May, Asher and I went whitewater rafting on the Ocoee River. We took a group of young singles from church. The weather was perfect and what a ride. Wow, it was fun. Asher and I are sitting in the back of the raft. Later on we sat in the front. I got really wet then. We did not flip the raft. Our guide looks like he came from the woods but he was great. I would love to go again. So, if you are interested in going whitewater rafting let us know because we are looking at going again in May of 2009.

Krispy Kreme

I remember my Dad bringing home doughnuts that were amazing--Krispy Kreme. I think my Dad would get a couple of dozen and then hide them so he could enjoy them later. I am starting to understand this thinking. I don't mean this as a slight against my Dad, just a fun memory. Asher surprised me and got doughnuts for us to enjoy. Thanks, Lovey you are the best! I can't remember who got the last of that doughnut.
