Cheesecake?



Ethan and Paige came over for dinner last night,
and then we made cheesecake brownies!Yum!



This week has been a good one, good in the sense that it has been hard, but fulfilling. I am trying to work more diligently in my classes, which is a hard thing for me to find balance doing because I tend to over-work myself for school (this semester I am struggling with the perseverance in academics that has come so naturally in previous semesters). Even though I have been fighting a cold/cough thing, God has given me a great week. I know that He has sustained me through my classes and responsibilities.

This weekend I have the privilege of attending the Women's Conference at the Village (Gina is coming with me)! This is such an exciting thing for me to be able to go to this, and I don't know if I will have this opportunity again. Lauren Chandler is teaching on God's steadfast love, almost a year after Matt's seizure and the beginning of their fight against cancer. She will have a lot to share, I'm sure, from her journey and how it has impacted her faith.



Turtle Cheescake!



This is a white chocolate peppermint cheesecake.
I have also made a white chocolate raspberry with this recipe.

Cheesecakes are calling to me. I want to bake one!I just can't decide which kind....I have made a lot of different kinds in the past: chocolate, chocolate swirl, white chocolate raspberry, white chocolate peppermint, brownie cheesecake, and turtle (to name some off the top of my head). Pumkin and pecan cheesecakes sound good to me right now. They're just so much fun to make :-)


Now I must work on History of Christianity homework for my quiz at 8am. joy.
