Dinner with the Missionaries

I had the pleasure tonight of having the Sister Missionaries over for dinner tonight. I meant to take a picture or two, but I enjoyed the conversation so much it totally slipped my mind. It was exciting for me to have the sisters over for a few reasons:

1. Despite being 22 years old, I have never had dinner guests over before and done all the cooking myself. I usually have a friend bring something, or have someone help me in the kitchen

2. I have never had the missionaries over for a meal outside of my parent's house before

So, this was kind of neat. Something worth remembering. If only I had taken those pictures....

I tried a new recipe that I highly recommend, found it over at Tara Cooks

Salted Caramel Fondue

I like to look for rainbows..

That song was one of my favorites as a kid.

The day after my birthday this year was rainy, and a little gloomy. While I was outside, the song suddenly came to my mind and I looked up to see:

a double rainbow. 

It was a pretty neat experience. One of those little moments where I got to see God's presence in my life. 

22nd Birthday

My birthday was a few days ago. Things have been so wild that I didn't have too much time to celebrate yet. I'm planning on celebrating with my family in a few weeks. On my actual birthday my mom came out for a visit and took me out for dinner. She also brought presents for me with her, which was exciting. She gave me a copy of The Muppets on DVD and Bluray. Expect another post about family birthday later!

On top of an awesome visit from my mom Eric sent me  flowers, which are beautiful, and mostly purple!



and my sweet Ferdie Bunny got all dolled up in purple bows for me

Granted, she did this against her will, for treats

All in all, despite the busy work week, I had a pretty wonderful muppety birthday!

Rainbow Leg Warmers

A while ago I was in the craft store, checking out the yarn selection, when I came across this yarn by Sugar 'n Creme:

I loved it, so I brought it home a few skeins for some unspecified project. Later I became a fan of using leg warmers under my boots, letting the top peek out. I decided this rainbow yarn would be perfect for another pair of leg warmers to use this way. Initially I was crocheting my rainbow leg warmers, but I decided that a crocheted rib just doesn't look as good as a knit one, so I decided to knit them (which was a big deal, I gave up knitting years ago. The result if beautiful.



Now, I only bought two skeins, so they're going to be tiny leg warmers, but they'll work for what I want them to do.
