It's been a week! Well, here are some highlights (and in the case of the first picture, lowlights) of the past couple weeks.

Sleep talk: The most entertaining things I yelled in my sleep this week.
- Apparently, I yelled twice in the same night, "Keep the change the filthy animal" followed by entertained laughter.
- "Two creamy quarts" in an angry tone.
In case anyone missed it, Katy came to Provo a couple weeks ago. Thanks for the fun, Katy!

| Valentines for all! |

| The last time I felt like this was after Jr. Miss! |
Our FHE activity a couple of weeks ago consisted of shaving cream pictionary. I'm lucky I didn't get too much into it.
Our ward played broom hockey down at 7 peaks last Friday. It was super fun! I love getting physical once in a while.
Stake Conference: Most of you probably know because of the mass texting that was going on during the Gonzaga game, but I wasn't able to go due to stake conference -- although I did watch the first half before sprinting over. It was so great. I was able to sing in the choir today, and I felt so light and happy afterwards. The top four highlights for me:
- If you have any character trait that you want to fix, read the Book of Mormon and apply its doctrines.
- Quit beating yourself up after making mistakes daily. Become as a little child and just move forward with constant repentence.
- As long as we are being good girls and good boys (and we all know what we need to do), and face the future with faith and happiness, everything will always work out.
- When I'm stressed, it is usually about myself. I need to find more opportunities to get outside myself

This afternoon, we had a competitive game of BOM football. It was a battle, but I pulled out the win with 24-22. At least one of the cougars got a win this weekend :)

| Oh no, I'm on the ten yard line... |

| I guess I'll take a 30. |

Recipe: My roommates wanted cinnamon rolls this morning for a conference treat. Well, that was too much work, so I made this cinnamon bread instead. It turned about pretty dang good.
Cinnamon Roll Bread
Prep Time: 10mn
Cook Time: 50mn
Total Time: 1hr
BREAD INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg - room temperature, lightly beaten
- 1 cup milk - I used 1%
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup plain greek yogurt or sour cream
SWIRL INGREDIENTS
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons water
GLAZE INGREDIENTS
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
DIRECTIONS
- Pre-heat our oven to 350 degrees and prepare a bread pan (about 9x5 inches) by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray or lightly greasing it with butter.
- In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
- In a small bowl combine egg, milk, vanilla extract and yogurt or sour cream.
- Add the dry ingredients into the wet and stir to combine. You can use a large wooden spoon for this if you wish, no mixer is required.
- In a small bowl combine swirl ingredients together - 1/3 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon and 2 tablespoons water. Use a tablespoon to drop spoonfuls of this mixture over the bread, then use a knife to make swirl designs to incorporate the cinnamon mixture into the bread.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until you insert a toothpick and it comes out clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and transfer it to a cooling rack to cool for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the glaze ingredients by combining 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon milk.
- Remove the bread from the pan and allow it to continue cooling completely.
- When the bread has completely cooled, pour the glaze over the top and serve.
- Enjoy!
