Happy 4th of July

So last night my friend asked me if our ward was doing a break-the-fast (gotta love single wards). We decided that we should have one and I offered to have it at my place. We went through the first two meetings without announcing anything and then I finally announced it in Relief Society and had them announce it in Elders Quorum.

I ran home and hurriedly went about cooking thinking to myself, what have I done! My apartment is a mess, it's super small, and I don't have enough seating for the ENTIRE WARD to come to my house. I may have ran back to the church and "borrowed" some chairs and raided the closet to get plates/cups/forks/napkins. Don't worry, I'm planning on returning everything tomorrow :)

Luckily only 5 people showed up so we had plenty of room. But then again I was a little disappointed because I cooked A LOT and so did my friend. Oh well. Now I have really good leftovers for the week, which is good because I may have emptied my fridge cooking. And I really wanted to make a flag cake, so that I could be patriotic, and you can't really make a flag cake at any other time. Well I guess on flag day. And it actually turned out:



I'm not gonna lie. I had to google the American Flag so I knew where the placement of the lines and stars were and whether it started with red or white. BUT I did know that there were 13 stripes and 50 stars. Happy 4th of July!

So I may have gone a little bit crazy

I told my friend that I just needed to find the attitude to go with the cut and she told me that I already had the attitude :) great!

It's taken me a bit to get used to it, but I really do love it!

A little insight to my thoughts

So the other day I was thinking.. I know, shocker.. If the "average" woman is a size 14, does this make me above-average? Man, I'm just excelling in EVERYTHING! :)

Just a bunch of newness

I got a new haircut, new bedspread, I recently found a new place to move into (the end of July) and this last Sunday I got a new calling. That's right! No more Activities Chair. Have you guess what it is? I was called as the 1st counselor in the Relief Society. I know. The world is definitely coming to an end! haha.

Seriously though, I am so humbled to think that Heavenly Father would want me in this calling. I'm so excited to serve the women in my ward. We have an AWESOME Relief Society.

So if you haven't started your food storage yet I would get on that ASAP :)

New bedding

So as I mentioned earlier, a few weekends ago I went over to IKEA and got myself a new duvet cover. I purchased new sheets to go along with it, but upon arrival home it was practically the same color palette as my roommate's so that's on hold for the present moment. I did switch out the duvet cover though. Don't mind the stuff under the bed :)



Close-up on the design


I was able to pull out some pillows from the closet to add a little color on the outside. It brightens the room :)
