Bake Me- Friday night while Rod was in Atlanta having Zija's Regional Conference and Alex was at a party, I decided to bake for my friends Riikka and Terhi. It is also a good excuse to sniff the baked goods while I can't partake. My personal trainer Lisa told me:"You can have cake after you reach your goal". I'm not at my goal yet. I have 4 lbs to go. Then another 10. Maybe I can have cake at Thanksgiving. I can wait. My willpower is at all time high. Not with exercise but with food only. Still blending my green sludge every day.
Shower Her- Sara's bridal shower was on Saturday at Dianne's house (same people that we do our annual Super Bowl party with), hosted by Dianne, Hilary, Tai, Brooke and Nikole. Sara is going to marry Dianne's son, Andrew, in May. It was great to see all of our dear friends again. And surprisingly we are going to make the wedding. We missed Hilary's and Tai's years ago because both times we were in Finland. But we made Brooke's and Jordan's. Actually, I don't know if Rod's going to make the wedding because I haven't checked his schedule. Let's hope so.
Humor U- I took Alex and his friend Jake to the BYU Comedy Club performance on Saturday night. Alex was greatly against it saying:"They will tell stupid Mormon jokes and it is not going to be funny". Not so! The minute the show started, he and Jake were both laughing until the end of the show. We all loved it and it was a good thing for our souls.
Dinner Them- We invited our friends Sini-Tuulia (the violin player) and her boyfriend Eric to dinner to our house on Sunday night. Rod and Alex prepared delicious Gumbo and I made corn bread, salad and Snickerdoodle cupcakes. It was great to visit with them and catch up with their news. Alex had a great conversation with Eric about basketball. Hope to see them more often.

Yummmmmy! Love me some gumbo! I love the layout of this post blog! And as always, great writing! Congrats on nearly reaching your goal AND your great will power!
Of course you have almost reached your "first" goal weight, you are the kind of woman who can do anything you put your mind to. (It's one of the reasons I want to be like you when I grow up. :)) And congrats on going to the Maeser Building. It really is beautiful inside, I remember thinking it had to be the most beautiful building on campus.
Lots of love,
Kristy
I admire your will power! Wow--when you set your mind to something, you really stick to it and that's an admirable trait.
I'm thinking I need to know more about the snickerdoodle cupcakes :) Those are two of my favorite treats and put together it must be divine.
I just started Shanghai Girls--let's chat about it!
