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)

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
