30 Before 30: #28 and February Girls Meeting

This past weekend was crazy busy. On Friday and Saturday, I was out of town for Lay Speaker training. I am now a Local Church Lay Speaker so half of #28 on my 30 Before 30 list is complete. To become certified I will have to take another training course in a year. You can see my spiffy new certificate and the training manual for the course I didn't take (we were short on books in mine) in the picture below.



After the training ended, I hit the road and drove for a little more than two hours straight to my friend Crystal's birthday party. I was tired and still fighting the effects of sudden caffeine deprivation, but I still had a great time. I got home closer to ten than to nine and didn't stay up very long before crashing. I had to be up early on Sunday to print the church bulletins and have them ready for service. That afternoon, we had our monthly gathering of the girls. Ros was our host. Sadly, this was the first meeting that all six of us were not able to attend. Fun was still had by all. The theme? Pasta!


So this is the end of this rather short, rather boring post. Enjoy this picture of the sunset I could see as I drove home from Ros's.

A Monthly Meeting of Friends

A few months ago my friend over at My Way... suggested starting a group that met monthly and rotated hosts. Whoever was host for the month chose the theme and directed everyone else what to bring. There are six of us who committed. This month marks our fifth meeting. Bree was the host. She made us homemade soup and we brought whatever we wanted to go with that. Per request, I made Sopapilla Cheesecake (note: I use almond extract and not vanilla when I make these). We hung out for a couple of hours talking and laughing. I am so glad Stacie suggested this group. Now pictures:

After the party, I took my oldest two nieces to see "Beauty & the Beast" in 3-D and then they spent the night. I thought the below picture was too cute not to share.
