Just to see you smile...
It was an incredibly long and rather dreadful day at work today. So, after returning home completely beat and a little down, I went to my sister's blog, only to find my spirits lifted after watching three darling videos of Audrey waving "bye-bye", Audrey dancing to the Holly Berries song, and Audrey jamming on the piano. Then I came across this video:
Whistling Puppy @ Yahoo! Video
... & it totally just put the icing on the cake!
Oh, and I totally connect with this video on a deeper note, because I too cannot whistle. Like the sweet little mutt, though, I make do with what I've got :)

What a quality show!
Doogie Howser was on the air a bit before my time... Luckily, Hulu has it online. After watching the pilot, I think I'm in love with this kid!

A Little Bit of Christmas Goodness
I found this idea in one of my mom's many cooking magazines, and I fell in love with it.
So, while I was out doing a little bit of Christmas shopping, I found these darling Wilton cookie cutters on sale...
So, I bought ten!
I gathered all the stuff to make the fudge (my first fudge-making endeavor, I might add!) and it was delicious! Much thanks goes out to my mama for supervising the process-- It is due to her we got the timing all right, and ended up with edible Christmas goodness!
Once the fudge was made, I packed it in the cookie cutters, let it harden a little bit, and then came the fun part:
I used icing that would harden and gave the little guys faces, buttons, sleeves, and pant legs. After the icing dried, I put them in cellophane bags tied with a festive ribbon around it. They made great visiting teaching gifts, cheerful 'thank you' gifts, and wonderful neighbor gifts-- This is such a fun, and darling, way to spread some holiday cheer!

Scripture Chase
Bethany, my best friend since third grade, spent many faithful years of our youth sitting beside me during young women's, seminary, Sunday school, firesides, girl's camp, etc. And as long as I can remember, I have always asked her to help me find books in the bible. The conversation would always go something like this,
We've been reading the different books of scripture together almost every night since last October (ish?), and after going to stake enrichment classes last week, I knew it was time to step our scripture study up to the next notch! There was a class on using the Preach My Gospel Manual to enrich your personal scripture study as well as the studies of your family. Download the online version here. I left that class completely inspired. So, I called Lance, and together we came up with a plan to implement all the things we should be studying from weekly but "don't have time" to.
I was struck by the missionary schedule (found at the beginning of Preach my Gospel) because they start every morning out with two hours of enriching scripture study. One hour is spent studying alone, and the second hour is spent with their companion. Using this as our inspiration, we decided the best time for us to study the word of the Lord is in the mornings, before his classes start, to give us a leg up for the day. Half an hour of personal study begins at 7:45 and half an hour of "companion" study at 8:15. So, as of the beginning of this week, this is our regiment:
So far, we are loving it. I can definitely tell a difference in my day when I start it with such an uplifting hour! It sort of takes me back to high school seminary... but I'm learning where all the obscure books of the Bible are this time around :)
Teacher: "Please turn with me to Amos 4:12"Well, in my ongoing quest to perfect myself (it is proving to be quite a daunting task!), I am adding to my scriptural arsenal of knowledge by reading the Bible all the way through. Chronologically. Daily. Lance and I are doing this together, and after completing the Book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price, we know we can do it! It's interesting to critically read all these bible stories I grew up hearing about in the context the Bible has them in. Who knew Lot fathered his own grandchildren!?
Me: "Bethany, where's Amos...?"
Bethany: "It's between Joel and Obadiah in the Old Testament."
Me: "Huh? Where?"
Bethany: "Page 1141."
Me: "Thanks! I wonder if he's the same Amos that created Famous Amos cookies..."

Saturday- Topical study from the scriptures
Sunday- Talks/previous ensign articles on LDS.org

Smells Like dinner!
This seems like it might be taking "saving the earth" to a whole new level... I do solemnly swear, I will never take tree-hugging this far! I do apologize if this video makes you loose your appetite- I couldn't eat a thing all day after seeing this... Proceed with caution!
