Day Number One


This is my family. Mom, Dad, Brother, and Me in Vatican City during summer 08. We love to travel! Our family loves doing things together. I miss them so much while I'm out here at school.
I'm the oldest with my younger brother who is basically the worlds best brother. Ever. His birthday is coming up soon and I am in a quandary of what to get him at the moment.
On the topic of Birthdays, today, actually yesterday I guess, was my roommate Larissa's birthday. We wanted to invite some of our friends over, celebrate her day and play some games. I also wanted to create some kind of culinary masterpiece for her cake ...item. So I attempted to make individual Ghiraradelli Chocolate Lava Cakes, with drizzeled chocolate and strawberry fans. They tasted very good but the problem was that we didn't put in enough of the chocolate center so they didn't burst forth as does lava. So my grade for the overall plate was a C+ for presentation, A- for the taste, overall effect B-. I promise next time to have a picture.
And finally, I only have one thing left to say that has actually been common in my study these last few days for my class and that is:
"We encourage you wherever you may live in the world to prepare for adversity by looking to the condition of your finances. We urge you to be modest in your expenditures; discipline yourselves in your purchases to avoid debt. . . . If you have paid your debts and have a financial reserve, even though it be small, you and your family will feel more secure and enjoy greater peace in your hearts."—The First Presidency
And finally good luck with all your endeavors whether they be great or small.
