We Talk of Christ

As I've been listening to my church's past General Conference via Podcast, something that I have been thinking about quite frequently is:

"We talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, .... that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins."
- 2 Nephi 25: 26

In the past few weeks I have met and spent time with some great Christians and I am inspired by their vocal committment to Christ.

I want to be better about talking of Christ and rejoicing in Christ because I know my Savior lives!

HELP NEEDED

So lately I have been obsessed with two things.

Working Out

and

Organizing/Decorating my house.

I was sitting eating dinner tonight and I realized the great potential that was right in front of my eyes.

THESE.

But what should I put in them??

I'm thinking a gorgeous vase, maybe a cool plate..I don't know! If you know of any great decorating websites that could help, or if you have any ideas yourself, I would LOVE to hear about them!!

Thanks!!

My Favorite Part of Minneapolis

Besides getting to spend a few days at Headquarters...
My favorite part about Minneapolis is the restaurant: REDSTONE GRILL. If you're ever in Minneapolis, you MUST GO HERE. www.redstonegrill.com

It has a lodge-type ambience, with great American food. I got food to go both nights I've been here in Minneapolis.

Last night:

-Shrimp Gemelli

-Side of Asparagus

-THE BEST CORNBREAD YOU'LL EVER EAT - with Maple Butter. Super healthy, I know. :)

TONIGHT:
-Spicy Jerk Chicken with Apples, Grapes, and Smoked Gouda Fondu
-Rotisserie Chicken Salad with Grape Tomatoes, sweet corn, raisins, and cornbread croutons

Not trying to brag how good the food is, but I WAS IN HEAVEN. :)

More posts to come on my travels to Idaho, Austin, and some fun adventures in the great state of AZ.

XOXO

DODGEBALL!!!!!!!!!

So in February, Candace, Andria and I went for a joyous weekend vacation to visit our dear friend, Aubrey.

While there we hit up Disneyland, and participated in the Huntington Beach Pierside Ward DODGEBALL TOURNAMENT.

Each team was dressed as a different movie theme and boy was it fun! We were all not looking forward to it and it was JUST as much fun as Disneyland.

ENJOY! :)

Kind of funny, huh? :)

The Scare Last Night

Last night I got home at about 11 PM from going to the Institute Social and Andria's house. I was talking on the phone to my friend Stephanie and my roommate Brooke handed me a letter. It said:

Dear Alisha, Becca, Brooke & Larisa,

I have decided to sell the house, so unfortunately as of May 31, 2010 you will not be able to live in the house anymore.

Consider this your eviction notice.

Sincerely,

Jeff (My landlord)

WHAT???? May 31st? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I kept saying, "SERIOUSLY?"

I started thinking all sorts of crazy thoughts..."Ok May 31st, that's going to be hot, but where am I gonna live? Do I want to move closer to work? Man moving all my stuff is going to be a pain. I wish my company would do it for me." You know those moments where your mind goes into overtime.

Then my roommate said,

"Look at the date. What day is it today?"

It took me a second before I realized.

She got me. I fell for her April Fool's joke! She's good :)

And as it is now April 2nd, I just wanted to give a shoutout to my amazing sister Ellen. I just was lucky enough to spend the weekend with her and we had a BLAST! She is now the mother of 2 and have I mentioned she is a rockstar? Martha Stewart Junior for real.

She made THIS cake for Amelia's 2nd Bday FROM SCRATCH.

I kept asking her where she got the crafty gene because it DEFINITELY skipped me.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EL!! I LOVE YOU! Thanks again for an amazing Ohio weekend!
