Brown Sugar Cookies

If you know me you know that I love love love sugar in most forms. These delicious cookies are no exception. I made them over the weekend and they turned out great! I got it from america's test kitchen. I love this show and their recipes because these cooks are picky and work out all the kinks in recipes so you don’t have to. Their recipes are usually a little more complicated, but they get things juuuust right. (Sorry, I can’t give you a cool little link to get to the website, I’m posting on a break at work and the computers here just won’t allow it)

beautiful

Wow these girls have the most beautiful voices. Had to share this. These sisters call themselves "first aid kit".



I found this clip on this awesome website http://www.somethingshidinginhere.typepad.com/

"The longest day (in our case weekend) ever"



I found this clip today of sweet little Randy Taylor and had to post it. This is exactly like what happened to us a few weeks ago…..minus the assumption of death….minus running away….plus a loving husband to comfort me and give me blessings….plus having to wait about 4 days for my CT scan results (booooo!)….ok so this wasn’t exactly like what happened, but we did find out that I have hypothyroidism. After several more tests we also found out that I don’t have a goiter or any kind of mass growing in my thyroid! Sweet!
So yes, this did mean I would have to take a small dose of thyroid replacement hormone every day, but I can totally live with that! Much better than surgery.
I think this was really a blessing in disguise. I had had some odd symptoms for a while and was starting to think I was a little paranoid. Well it turned out there really was something wrong and the medication has actually helped all of my symptoms a lot! Moral of the story? Trust your instincts.

Today I am thankful for:
Good health
A loving husband
Priesthood blessings
Prayers of family and friends
Answers to prayers
A loving Father in Heaven
