30 Days about Me:Day 25
Day 25- Who is/are your best friends?
Best friends - Hubby - The one person who has loved me unconditionally (besides parents). He has never stopped loving me even when I felt like I wasn't worthy. He holds me when I need it, lifts me up when I need, pushes me to be better when I don't feel like I can be. He tells me I am beautiful when I don't see it, he has accepted me with all my faults, and has NEVER tried to change me to suit his wants/image of perfect. I feel so privileged to be able to spend the rest of my days with this wonderful man.
Chuckie - My darling daughter Charlotte. She is a blessing in so many ways, and has taught me such strong lessons in others. I wish I could prevent the heartaches she will face, but she, like me, will learn the hard way. She is funny, moody, and vicious if provoked! She will defend her point till the cows come home if she thinks she is right. And she will make you melt with a great hug. She is a really good listener, and wont hesitate to give you her opinion. (They can be STRONG)
Gayle - I met Gayle at Snow College. She is a year younger than my mom, and despite the age difference, we hit it off. She is a very strong woman. She is a wife, mother and grandmother. She has experienced things no mother ever should, the loss of a child. She has taught me a lot, and shown me how valuable patience is.
Mom - She has been there through the toughest times, and through the best times. I know she has sacrificed for me, has gone through some of the toughest times I have ever thought of for me and my siblings. She is the one who hugged me close when my heart had been broken. She is the one who gave advice (wanted or not) that I should have learned from! She helped me when I couldn't walk after Jonathan was born, was the one who listened when I couldn't hear. She has prayed for me when she thought I wasn't going down the right path. She has used strong language to guide me, she has even used strong hands from time to time. There truly aren't enough words to tell about my mom.

30 Days about Me:Day 24
Day 24- Where You Live? Tell us or show us about where you live
I live in a beautiful small town in central Utah by the name of Fairview. No stop lights, most places shut down by 9 p.m. There is a bank (open till 1), a diner, a dairy freeze, and 2 gas stations. Here is a link to mapquest.
Fairview, Ut
The fun here happens during the 24th of July, (Pioneer Day - State holiday). There is the firemans wakeup at 6am where the firetrucks go around town and wake up the people. Then you have the fun run, a 5k at 6:30, and the firemans breakfast at the park at 7. This is where the firefighters cook pancakes, eggs and sausage and serve it for the towns people who will come out.
Then there are the parades. Little kids first, riding their bicycles or mini floats (wagons decorated to look like covered wagons) down state street.
Next comes the Mammoth parade - named because there was a wolly mammoth found up our canyon in 1985. A replica of it is in our museum.
http://sanpete.com/pages/fairview - here is a link describing more of Fairview and a picture of our Mammoth.
These are some pics of the last parade.

30 Days about Me:Day 21
Day 21- A recipe you love - Maker beware! It is fattening, and high in colesteral, but OHH so nummy!!
Corn Meal Bread
9 X 13 Pan, Bake - 325 degrees, 40 minutes
9 X 13 Pan, Bake - 325 degrees, 40 minutes
Ingredients - 3 C Milk
1 C Water
1 C Butter
2 C Sugar
2 C Corn Meal
12 Eggs
Directions - Combine milk, water, butter, sugar and corn meal in sauce pan. Cook mush till thick (looks like breakfast mush). Seperate the eggs. Add the yolks into the cooked mush mix. Beat the whites till they are stiff. FOLD stiff whites into mush mix. (I add the mush to the cake pan first. Its easier to fold in the whites.)
Bake for 40 minutes at 325. Allow to cool, slice and serve. My kids like to add butter, sugar, and or maple syrup to the top. *I reheat mine a tiny bit, so the butter melts a touch. Nothing more that a touch of butter for me.* (I don't WANT to know the calorie count!)

30 Days about Me:Day 20
Day 20- Something you wished you could forget - I wish I could forget the time of my life when I wasn't a very good wife, mother, daughter, and all around person. No - I am not going into details.
I know I was a horrible person for a while. I learned some GREAT lessons because of this time in my life, so this is why I cannot forget it. I will use these lessons to become the better person I truly want to be.
