Scotcheroos

So everyone has been posting food stuff lately and to not feel left out I have decided to post my favorite recipe of the week. 
Scotcheroos!
Basically they are a type of rice krispy treat, but so much more!
Here's the recipe:
1 cup light corn syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup peanut butter
6 cups Rice Krispies
Topping:
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
                      To make mix together the corn syrup and sugar in a saucepan and cook on med. until it begins to boil. Remove from the heat and stir in peanut butter. Add Rice Krispies, then press into a 9x13 pan. (I grease mine cause some times they like to stick to the pan)
 For topping melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips together then spread over cereal mixture and let it stand until firm.
They are amazing! I hope you get a chance to make and enjoy these fantastic treats!

Bike For Sale

So Ricky is trying to sell his motorcycle. Not because I'm making him, but because he wants to get a different one. 
This is what he has now, a Buell Blast. It's still fairly new and doesn't have a whole lot of miles on it. If you know anyone or you yourself are interested in buying this, it is on craigslist at http://abilene.craigslist.org/mcy/2645311198.html
The Reason he's trying to sell it is so he can buy this.  It's a Honda CRF230M. Basically what I understand about this bike is that it's nice and it's dual sport so it can be used both for dirt biking and city driving. Plus it gets 30 more miles per gallon then his Buell. So feel free to share the cite and let people know about it so that we can sell it!

Achievement Days

So I am the new Achievement Days leader. The previous leader is going to have a baby any day now so to help relieve her of some stress they put me in charge. I'm not going to lie I'm a little nervous about running this program, but I am very excited to do it as well. I did my first activity 2 weeks ago. We painted candle holders. The idea was that we all have the light of Christ in us and we can share that light in our own unique ways to those around us. Not many girls were able to make it to the activity but even with that I think it went over well. 
This is the example I made. I really loved that even with the paint on it the light was still shining through.  I just hope the next activity goes as well if not better.

Surprise

So Ricky went on a TDY to Little Rock, Arkansas a while back and was gone for 2 weeks. When he got home, he surprised me with these!

Even though roses aren't my favorite flower I was still really happy to even get flowers! It made my day! Love you Ricky!
