brisk saturday morning...



i cant think of a better way to start off the day... you know when you havent had something for awhile and then you finally find yourself cooking it and after eating wondering why you had abandoned or forgotten it... well that is how i feel about french toast this week...

i know, it is actually something very simple... but i fell in love again...i had forgotten how much i love french toast...

it started one morning of this week, i cannot remember the exact day... we had everything but bread to make french toast, so i opted for english muffins... and to top it all off we even had strawberries!!! i would recommend anyone that likes french toast to try it with english muffins, the density of the english muffins made it so wonderful...

...this brisk saturday morning we had french toast made with hawaiian sweet bread. this bread is one of my favorites ... i am pretty sure you can find it at any grocery store in the baking aisle and you have to try it!!!

back to the french toast... i added a little coconut to the egg mixture, an idea that came from the back of the box... so good, and i just had to share...




what a beautiful morning it is... hope you are all having a wonderful saturday!!!

another bitter sweet moment...


i cant help but feel an overwhelming sense of peace right now as i write this...



we wanted to honor our beloved prophet Gordon Bitner Hinckley who has passed away today.... only about two short hours ago at 7pm... we will miss him terribly... but are so happy that he can once again be reunited with his wife... his other half... his eternal companion whom he so dearly and undoubtedly loves...






what a great great man... it was always such a joy to hear him speak.... to look forward to the next time you would hear his voice and see his overwhelming joy for this church and life... he will be greatly missed!!! i know that he was a true prophet, he spoke with our heavenly father and cared for not only each and every member of this church but each and every son and daughter of God...


i have loved working with the young women because i have been able to testify to them that we do have a living prophet and that he does love them and thinks about them often... my testimony of him and this church has grown greatly through this experience... and i believe will continue to strengthen...


he was such a knowledgeable person and served this church with everything he had... what a great man!!! we will certainly miss his most wonderful sense of humor and that cane that he always was swinging around as if he did not need it...










i want this one... and all the others....


i fell in love with this tie... and the rest of them... they are from etsy... so so cute!!!
