Wednesday - Memorizing and Baking

Bethany and I have been memorization partners this year. We decided that whenever we would get together to say more than one chapter, we would get together and do something fun while at it. Last time, we went to go see Cinderella (in theaters) and then to Jamba. This time, we decided to meet at Pete's and then have a baking day.

After we successfully quoted our verses, we ran to Ross - we were going to a Pregnancy Clinic Banquet the following night and we were told it was formal. (What does formal mean? There's a nice skirt and blouse, a nice dress, a Sunday dress, and then prom-formal.) Just in case it was going to be prom-formal, we wanted to check and see if Ross had anything we would definitely need - it didn't and that's ok 'cause we discovered later that it was Sunday formal... ish... (this will be another blog post. Sometimes I feel like there is nothing to blog about and then I have a weekend full of fun-ness :)

We got back to Bethany's house and began creating - it was then around 10 and we wanted to get a couple of goodies baked so we could send them to some friends. We pulled this off superbly and had the last Pumpkin-Apple Sauce muffins in the oven by noon. After lunch, we packed the goodies (adding the decorative touch of lace duck-tape) and ran to the post office before getting me back to my abode at 2pm. It was a day well spent from the moment of getting out of bed, till the moment of returning there.

It's such a blessing (and ton's of fun) to have friends who sharpen you while you are reciting verses or while baking in the kitchen. :) Who are your friends? Do you come away having given and having received encouragement and blessing (in some form or another)?
