easter

Easter has been a little downplayed for me these last few years in college. I took the initiative to buy and decorate eggs!! I invited all these people...and chase was the only one to show up. Thats ok! They missed out!! Here are a few pictures of our adventures. Enjoy!

Oldies but Goodies

As I ventured out to the wonderful Deseret Industries I realized that I have an interesting habit. I LOVE to collect old books. When I am at DI I always make sure to check out any hidden treasures in the book department. I have found a variety of many items ranging all over the place. My collection includes: an old hymn book from the 1940s, a dictionary from the 1920s, an etiquette book from the 1920s, and my newest addition (as pictured below) is a series of books that have familiar stories in them including; Huckleberry Finn, little women, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, Alison in Wonderland, Sherlock stories and many more! I am very happy with my purchase, and here are a few of the books!




PS How awesome is my camera?? Pretty dang awesome.

THE list

I have decided to start on THE list. When I say THE list, I mean THE life list of things that I need to start doing. A few things on this list are; planting a garden (at least one thing I can eventually eat), sky diving, learning how to sew (done!! So now it has changed to "learn how to sew better), and learn how to bake bread.

I have come to tell all that I have attempted to make bread! I started small with rolls. The scariest part of making bread is the yeast...I seem to always screw that part up. So while I was making rolls on this wonderful, yet windy Sunday, I realized that I was having some major anxiety about that dumb yeast! I called my faithful old roommate, Emma, who put my fears to rest. The next phase of anxiety for me was when I had to knead the bread...I was scared of adding too much flower and ruining this piece of art work after I had gotten so far into the process! It was really sticky and I was adding a lot of flour. I complained and sweat a little while I continued in my task and eventually set it aside to rise (crossing my fingers that the dumb yeast was actually going to work!). And...IT DID!! I was so excited and my current roommate can testify of that! It was smooth sailing from there. I have made rolls and they were awesome!! Below is picture proof of my perfection! The next task is going to make actual loafs of bread...im scared.
