Whole Wheat Torts and Brown Rice

I really enjoy cooking and I love making things that I have never made before. On Wednesday night Josh and I made homemade whole wheat tortillas!!! They were amazingly really good! I didn't know for sure how long to cook them because they look a little different then white flour torts, so the first one was more like a big tortilla chip! Nice and crunchy! After that I got the hang of it! We made brown rice and had black beans too! Pretty cheap, really easy, and yummy!

Over the river and through the woods...

Last weekend Josh, Jordan, and I got to go to Myrtle Creek! We haven't bee down there in atleast two whole months! We spent the night at my Grandma and Grandpa's house! My Grandma taught me how to crochet a afghan and now I have a project for the long drive to Cali! Grandpa also BBQ'd ribs and they were sooo yummy! My grandparents also have a backyard full of amazing flowers and trees! Everytime we go down I love to walk around and look at everything. I can't wait until we get a yard of our own someday! My grandma is going to give me starts off of everything!!! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for an awesome weekend! Josh also got to enjoy his favorite thing about MC... XL Blizzards from DQ!

Can you see what I see?

Josh and I were watering the flowers in front today and spotted something!

Can you see anything?

How about now?

Yep! There it is! Crazy huh! I have never seen anything like!

We looked on the internet to find out what kind of spider it was but they were too creepy to look at! They all made my skin crawl. Oh and a spider crawling across someone's face has been know to cause heart attacks in persons over 40! Yikes! But, still pretty cool to see!

Israel Israel God is Calling

There are some Hymns that really make the spirit warm my soul from within. After I read Teresa's post I started think about Elliot being where he is, my brother where he is now, and where he could be in the next year, and I couldn't help but feel sad and scared. These are scary times in our lives and our young men are facing the scariest parts while we have BBQ's and go to drive-in movies. Even though I am scared I have hope and I know they all know how much we love them and how much their Savior loves them. I know that no matter what happens the Lord will protect them and they will have the Saviors comfort. We must keep our prayers strong and fill our hearts with the love the Savior showed us. We talked about Alma the younger today in institute and if it hadn't been for his father and his people praying for him he might not have ever been born again with spirit of God. It is a work in progress. Never under estimate the power of prayer. I love my family and I love the gospel. I smile now and think to myself , "Come to Zion, Come to Zion..." I know this post might not make very much sense, but I could feel it in my heart and I needed to write down! I love you all!
