This weekend I'm going to make a

life-changing

{I'm using this term pretty loosely}

purchase.

Care to make a guess as to what will completely alter my existence?

Perspective

Last night before falling asleep Jer and I were chatting- you know, the normal end of day wrap-up.

He says, "I can't believe you are gonna have the baby in like 60 days!"

Funny how to one person that seems so soon, and the other.... not so much.

Twin Mommies

Showing up to church in the same dress as someone else is a little awkward.

Showing up to church in the same dress as your good friend is even more awkward.

Showing up to church in the same dress as your good friend who is the primary chorister when you are the primary pianist is just plain awesome!

And guess how many people asked if it was planned.... RIIIIIGHT!

Put me on the DL...

We rented this game a few days ago and my elbow has not been the same since. Good thing it is due back tomorrow, otherwise my arm just might never recover.

Program Interruption....

I'm interrupting this super fun game (see below) to bring you news that couldn't make me happier!! So when you all are finished cheering, or crying, feel free to continue playing.

Congrats Jerry and Jen!

Memory Lane

Here is a fun little game, but I'm changing it because it's my blog and I can. So leave a comment about a memory you have of me. It doesn't matter if you've known me for a short time or a long time, or only in cyberspace (cuz I've never met my friend Kristen in real life, but my favorite memory of her is when she forgot to put a bra on one Sunday morning and had to present Sharing Time. Sorry... but you are NEVER gonna live that one down. It's just too hilarious.) It can be funny, embarrassing, whatever. Anything that you remember!

Come on, I promise it will be fun. I think...

Nanimo Bars Recipe

Here's the recipe for Nanimo Bars, straight from Jeremy's grandma. I tweaked some of the ratios a bit since her original recipe called for a 9x9 pan and I didn't have one.

In the microwave or double boiler melt

1/2 c. butter

1/4 c. sugar

1 tsp vanilla

5 Tbsp cocoa

Cool the mixture slightly and add one beaten egg.

Mix together

2 c. crushed graham crackers

1 c. coconut flakes

1/2 c. chopped walnuts

Combine both mixtures and press into a 9x13 pan.

Cream together

4 c. powdered sugar

1/4 c. milk

2 Tbsp Birds Custard Powder (this may not be at your local grocery but it is available online, and for sure in Canada, ha ha. If you don't want to get the powder Kate says she uses vanilla pudding and can't taste a difference, but my MIL says she can taste a difference. So... I wouldn't know, I haven't tried the pudding version. I'm just givin' you guys options)

1 c. butter

Spread frosting on top of crust and chill. Melt 8 squares of semi-sweet chocolate (if you like dark you can use that instead) and 2 Tbsp butter. Mix and spread on top of the frosting mixture and chill until set.
