Viva Las Vegas!

Pastor's Wives, we are a unique breed.  I was able to go to Leading and Loving It ReTreat with 550 of these ladies.  I stayed with a lady from my Connect Live group, and got to spend time with others that I've know virtually.  One of the biggest parts of the conference that was most meaningful to me was having spiritual truths that I tell others all the time poured into me. I already registered for next year's retreat which will be held in Nashville, Tennessee! Here are a few pictures….

Joy the Baker

I got Joy the Baker's new cookbook "Homemade Decadence," and made her Cinnamon Sugar Muffins with Salted Caramel Frosting.

We had a missions meeting, and I made this:

Peanut Butter Pound Cake

Halloween and Cookbooks Galore

Gooey Monster Eye Cookies

Halloween 2014
Ever thankful for a husband who was a theater major in undergrad, so he never hesitates to dress up.  We have dressed up for all six years that we have known one another.

Neiman Marcus Chocolate Chip Cookies
I made a "test" batch of these and sent them to a girl who is away at college from our church.  I did a test batch, because I knew I wanted to overnight cookies to my dad for his birthday.  I wanted to make sure they passed the test, and boy do they ever!

Christmas Comes Early

HH subscribes to his late father's philosophy.  "You can be surprised, or you can get what you like."  These are the cookbooks that I picked out for Christmas.  HH said to go ahead and order them.
