And I keep on blogging...

So a little time has passed since my last entry. Things get hectic sometime and the last thing I want to do is get on the computer when I have been on it all day! But I will bring you up to speed on the last week or so.

I went to a board meeting in Worley, Idaho. Now that was exciting. The Coeur d'Alene Casino Resort is there and we actually had a really nice stay. I did gamble a little, but stopped when I won $5 more than the $15 or so I spent. I figure if I came home with more money than I left, I am a true winner!

My mom is doing great and I got to spend the whole day with her on Saturday. We made all kinds of shower invitations for my sister's baby shower and we'll show them to her tomorrow so she can choose which she likes best. I think they turned out pretty cute and I am looking forward to seeing the final products. We made some other cards too, and it is just so much fun. Crafting is so addictive!

Last night Mat and I made some new recipes. First, we made Miso Chicken and a corn and edamame salad. The corn salad called for grilled corn, but it isn't in season, so we just used frozen corn that we steamed. Then later we made chocolate souffle! The chicken recipe we decided wasn't good enough to stay in our rotation, but we both really liked the salad and the souffle. Here are the official links if you want to try them out:

No news on the wedding front. I have been diligently studying to find ideas for the wedding, but we haven't actually done any more than reserve the spot. Mat has 8 days left of school and then I think we can have a little more free time to go try out caterers and look at photographers and all that fun stuff.

Work is keeping me very busy at the moment. I have two fairly good sized conferences the first week of June and then I might have a week or so to catch my breath before starting on our Annual Conference in September. There really isn't much of a break for me work wise, but at least i keep really busy!

We're bbqing tonight and I am really looking forward to that. It is supposed to get chilly the next few days, but right now is 80! That is some crazy Idaho weather for you. Better wrap up my work before I head home. Bye for now!
