Buckets, buckets, and more buckets!!

Day 89…

 

In less than a month, I will be attending a long week of Young Women’s Camp.  I am excited.  I am nervous.  I cannot wait for this adventure.  Each Tuesday until camp, we will be trying to get things in order and ready for that incredible week.  Tonight, we painted our buckets.  These will be our chairs for our cabins.  I am so excited.   We had so much fun.  I am not sure if it was because of all the fumes from the can or it was because we were enjoying each others company.  I vote that it was the enjoying each other.  J

Good morning!

Day 88…

 

This morning, I realized what I have been missing.  Every morning for the past little while, I have felt a little odd.  I wasn’t sure why but this morning I came to a conclusion.  See…almost every morning for the past several years, I would receive a text or two.  This friend of mine would simply text “good morning” or something along that line.   Well, that certain friend of mine is away for 10 months on an adventure.  So I haven’t received those simple messages each morning and I realized how much I have missed it.  I love that simple phrase.  Good Morning.  I usually do not hear those simple two words since I do not see anyone in the mornings.

 

I used to work with a friend of mine that would say phrase to me every morning when I had arrived at work.  Well, she doesn’t work with me anymore so I do not hear that simple phrase.  Those that I work with really don’t seem to talk in the mornings so…

 

Hmmm….Now I know why my mornings have been so strange.

Draper Temple

Day 86…

 

This morning, I had the opportunity and privilege to attend the Draper LDS Temple with some of my most favorite people.  I love these young women with all of my heart and I feel so blessed to be in their presence.  Aw…love them so much.

It is National Walk day....or something similar to that.

Day 85…

Today is National Walk day or something similar to that.  The place where I work encouraged us to go for a walk.  I decided to take along my camera. 

 

 We walked along the Provo River Trail

Oh my goodness! Popcorn

Day 84…

 

I have a sweet friend that is in the Mission Training Center getting ready to serve a mission and I miss her terribly.  SO…last night I decided to make a delicious treat to send to her.  I forget how much I love to bake.  Well…I guess…making Milk Chocolate, White Chocolate, and Carmel Popcorn is not really baking…it is popping, melting and stirring.  HA HA!!! 

 

Want the recipe?

 

 

Oh my goodness!  Popcorn

1 cup popcorn kernels, popped

1 lb. Almond Bark

1lb. caramel

3/4 cup chocolate chips

Place popcorn in a very large mixing bowl. Pour crushed candy canes over the top of the popcorn. Melt the almond bark according to the package.

Once the almond bark is melted.  Mix well. 

Pour over the popcorn.  Pour the popcorn out onto a piece of waxed paper, parchment or foil.  Spread it out into an even layer and leave it alone. 

Melt the caramel and drizzle over the popcorn.  Melt the chocolate chips and drizzle over the popcorn and caramel.  Leave it until the almond bark and chocolate has hardened. 

When chocolate is hardened, use your hands to break up popcorn into chunks.  Toss in a bowl and eat!!  So delicious!!!

A beautiful day...

Day 83…

 

I spent the afternoon at the Provo Temple with some dear friends of mine as they were sealed for time and all eternity.  It was powerful to witness how far these beautiful friends have grown in the gospel.  It was such a special day.  Aw…what a very special day!!!
