Ryan left this morning. He's headed for Saint George for a planning conference. We were maybe going to go along but I didn't know what we would do with ourselves the whole time and I've been under the weather. I thought we should hold off and plan a little family trip sometime when Ryan would actually be able to hang out with us and I didn't feel like a pile of poo poo. Ha ha - pile of poo. poo. Speaking of which, Molly did, on our carpet the other day.
Anyway, in other news, we are now in the sixth ward. Weird as anything I can imagine. Seeing these people from my childhood a million times older. I think that it will feel like we are visitors. Especially as we don't plan on being here that much longer?
Well, I think it's mac n' cheese time so see yas.

smells like baking bread in here


Okay, so I just went ahead and tried to make some bread without my kitchen aid, and guess what? It turned out better than I've ever made it! Yes, I will even say that it was just like my mom's. I know. Yummy and amazing! I think I should have learned this way in the first place, (that is without the mixer). Something about handling the dough gave me a better idea of what the texture should be like. I did ask my mom some advice and then I remembered Megan saying once that she kneads the bread for 12 min. by hand, so I did have a little help from my friends. Thanks friends. So now I feel more confidant about teaching some bread making. So Nikki and Tia, any old time, I could show you my amazing skills. Let's just hope that I can be consistant and that this time I didn't just get lucky.
