Talks, Bread & the New Ward.

Well...my talk was pretty good.  I was happy with it.  Speaking for 20 minutes is a lil daunting, but I think I did well.  I actually like speaking, it's fun...it's just everything that leads up to it, that makes me crazy/scared.  Not to be confused with 'psychotic', as in 'crazy & scared'....ah, you know what I mean.  Anyways, I did well and I was pleased. I'm so glad that I had a friend there in the congregation. It meant a lot to me.
I made Mama McK's bread today. I was so ecstatic! I've been wanting to make bread lately and I've been missing her....so it was a nice solution.  Dang, I'm starting to crave some now!! It was my first time making bread (from scratch, without a bread maker--by hand, baby!) and I'm pleased as punch that it came out well! My family loved it! I can't wait to try her Cinnamon rolls this weekend! :( Now I miss her even more!

I'm liking my ward more and more. (I think I say that every Monday, but it's true).  I like that I'm making friends with more people each time.  I went to FHE tonight, since we were going to be playing Volleyball. Had a GREAT time! I saw Favre on my way in, but I guess he was leaving as I was arriving.  Oh well....  However, I got to play with "Oeste" tonight.  Oh I think he is so cute! And he's funny!  I think what I like about Oeste is that he's not SUPER hot or gorgeous, not like what I'm use to....but his friendly, funny spirit is so attractive. I like that :)

Thursday = Temple!

Last night was simply wonderful! I was in a beautiful place surrounded by dear friends....can it get any better than that?  It was a great session and I loved the silent peace that the temple offers.  

It was pleasing being their with ol' ward friends as well as new ward friends.  Several [new] ward members were there and it felt like a combining of worlds....old friends and new friends all in one place.  "Favre" was there and it was quite the surprise! He, as always, looked goooooood.  Man, he is so pleasant to look at.  He's in my new ward, but I know of him from my ol' stake.  Small world....

Anywhoo.... It was a very enjoyable evening.  I love to see the temple...especially with loved ones. 

p.s. And yes, sometimes temple trips end at In-N-Out :)
