Freakin' Awesome

So I went to an Enrichment tonight taught by the ladies who started Pantry Secrets. These ladies have developed a recipe for making bread with only 5 ingredients in ONE HOUR from start to finish. Not only is it dang good bread, but they have developed over 50 ways to use this same basic recipe to make different meals and desserts. Tonight alone we made pizza, cinnamon twists, calzones, focaccia bread, soup bowls, kaiser rolls, and a beautiful cream cheese braid, all in one hour! You can do whole wheat or white, and the possibilities are endless for what you can create. These women are seriously inspirational to watch. You have to book them 3 months in advance for parties or enrichments but it is worth it. Check out this opening clip for their instructional DVD.

Sunday Morning Post

This morning, unable to attend church and quarantined to my room (guess who caught the swine flu on our cruise? Yep you guessed it.) I took to perusing religious videos online to make up for missed sunday school lessons. I found these short video clips on the church website and Youtube and just had to post them here. They really touched my heart and I think they will be a great reminder of the spirit of the messages felt at conference. Here are a few of my favorites:

Seriously Blown Away!

Ok so this cruise was amazing! Troy's mom treated us to 8 days of incredible fun in honor of Grandpa Moss and to celebrate what a fantastic family he and Grandma Moss have created! We had so much fun and were blown away in more ways than one. I'll spare you the details to avoid incurring unnecessary jealousy :) and say that the ship was awesome, the islands were beautiful, and the food waaay waaay too delicious.

Our most memorable adventure was on St Maarten, where we rented scooters with Angie and James and rode around the island. We stopped at the famous Airport Beach to watch the planes fly in ridiculously close to the shore and have a dip in the ocean. We enjoyed ourselves immensly......until we got caught in the jet stream of a 747 taking off a stone's throw from where we were sitting on the beach. Angie literally lost some of the skin off her back from the sand pelting us at a few hundred miles per hour. Aparently we missed the 10 foot signs warning of injury or death from the jetstream. Now we know. I found some videos on youtube that are not us, but gives a good demonstration of our predicament. It was also on St. Maarten that we ran into a highschool friend we havent seen in about 10 years! What a small world!
