Just a few minutes

Just a few minutes to post about life.  Well, it's pretty busy! I'm officially done at Hillview Elementary and starting the summer school program next week.  It'll be nice to only go once a week instead of three times, but I'll be filling my extra hours with working at the plasma center.  Whoop. Brennen is pretty busy too, he's been doing a lot of shifts in Idaho Falls and stuff to meet his requirements for the Paramedic Program.  This last weekend he went with Air Idaho and ended up on the front page of the "Scroll"--So proud of you, sweetie! Haha.  [For those of you that don't know, the "Scroll" is our school newspaper.]  Lately I have been working on some new recipes from Pinterest..here are picture of my most recent adventure:

I had to crush Oreo cookies into a really fine powder.  

This was the best way to do that.  Biggest. Mess. Ever.

So, these were not just any cookies.  The were Oreo Cheesecake cookies.  That's right. Cheesecake cookies.  Makes your mouth water, right?

The finished product!  They looked delicious! Unfortunately, they looked better than they tasted :(

They were still good, don't get me wrong, but I will stick to my famous snickerdoodles.

So other than that, not much to report.  I lost my camera so these pictures are with my phone...sorry for the bad quality.  We have just been surviving.  We're still looking for a good car, but can't find one that's in our price range.  Right now it's looking like I'm going to have to start to learn how to drive the truck...yay.  I've been asked 3 times in the last month if I'm pregnant...well, i'm not.  I hope I'm not looking like it. Yipes.  Not for a while folks.  Here's my theory.  One person at work asked me, and two people at church.  I don't know where my co-worker got it from but the people at church must have seen me eating a granola bar in the library.  In a married student ward, you don't eat in church unless you're pregnant.  Sorry everyone, 9:30 church doesn't leave me time for breakfast and I'm hungry! Haha.

It's official

My blog is dead.  My pageviews has literally flat-lined.  haha, I guess this is to be expected..I can rarely keep things alive.  Plants, fish, blogs.  Nobody ever give me children!  Haha.  Speaking of which, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! To all you fantastic mommies out there! Especially to my own mommy who has been such a great example to me of hard work and kindness.  And to my wonderful mother-in-law who lets me do my laundry at her house and keep my car in her garage when it's not working.  Happy Mother's Day to all my friends who are mommies!  I'm so grateful for your example and advice (though you might not know you are giving it).  Guys, I cannot wait to be a mom, but you always amaze me with the sacrifices you make and the time you spend with and on your children.  Sometimes I find myself not feeling well and I think to myself, "I don't think I can feel like this for weeks and weeks when I'm pregnant.' Or, "I'm not ready to stay up all night with a screaming baby."  I'm such a wimp, and all the moms out there are my heroes.  Thank you for all you do for us.

"No language can express the power, and beauty, and heroism, and majesty of a mother's love.  It shrinks not where man cowers, and grow stronger where man faints, and over wastes of worldly fortunes sends the radiance of its quenchless fidelity like a star" - Edwin Hubbell Chapin
