A Quicky

This post will be short, but just wanted to put out and update.

I'm heading out to California THIS WEEK! I can't believe how fast time has gone by. I'm leaving Tuesday afternoon and just driving to St. George, and spending the night there. Then I'll finish the trip on Wednesday. I haven't driven all the way to California by myself in several years, so I figured I'd split it up just to be safe and not overly tired. I haven't been this stoked about something in a long time. There are mixed emotions though. More to come on that later....

I just made cepilinai - a traditional Lithuanian dish. I haven't eaten it in probably a year. I love it. I pulverized potatoes by hand for 2 hours, while watching a movie with my roommate. Then we packed the potatoes with meat, boiled them up, tossed a little bacon & sour cream sauce on top. Heavenly. Doesn't sound that great, but believe me, it's amazing. Here is what they look like, although these are not the ones I made. Mmm...skanus!

And, I feel like I've been home from my mission forever, oh wait, I have. 2.5 years to be exact. And soon I'm going to go visit the sisters from the second group I taught at the MTC. They just got home. Crazy how time flies. Well, that's all for now folks. Happy Reading.
