Butter Cookies!... YUM!

Okay so I have to be like the worlds worst cook! :( I can't even make chocolate cookies from a box!!! I mean how hard is it to take the mix and add 1tblsp of butter and 1 egg and mix it up! Well I managed to be the one to screw it up.. I didn't exactly pay attention to the fact that it asked for only 1 tablespoon of butter and not a whole stick! I don't know what I was thinking... or if i was just being blonde.. but I added a whole stick of butter!! So i scoop them on my pan and thought everything was going good! Until I was talking to my mom on the phone and I pulled them out and they looked like pancakes! My mom asked if I added to much water.. I said no you don't add water just butter and an egg! So she asked well how much butter I added and I was like a stick! She was like a STICK! and I was like yes it was what the picture said and she said how much did it ask for and so I looked and there it was only 1 tablespoon! haha So then I taste them just to see if they would be alright and well they tasted very plain.. you couldn't even taste the freakin chocolate chips! So there it is... I officially am the worlds worst cook! I give up.. and I decided I'm just goin to marry a guy who can cook everything...especially chocolate chip cookies from a box! :)

Here is a picture of my butter cookies! Yum!

So I can honestly say that this has been the craziest year of my life... but also the best. I have been through so much in such little time that looking back on it now.. I don't know how I would of ever survived with out my support system. Moving down to St. George has to been one of the most scariest, best things I have ever done. I found out so much about who I am, who I want to be and where I belong in this world. I'll admit I have had the hardest times.. and probably over reacted one too many times. But look where it got me! I now enjoy living on my own, even though I love my family and miss them so so so much! I feel like I found myself..and I have a place to call my own. I won't lie I'm terrified to move home... no not because I don't miss my family.. I miss them more then ever! But I feel like in a way I'm leaving so much behind...I'm leaving who I have become behind.. I'm leaving my independence behind. I'm afraid that I'm going to get sucked back in and not return to this place I love! I won't lie in the beginning I didn't believe a word anybody said about it getting better down here.. but I'm glad they proved me wrong. I am so happy that I stayed and gave it a chance! But I would of never survived without my Mom, Dad, and brother. My Grandpa~Love you! The rest of my family's support.. I love you all! and also to my friends.. and to the ones at home still. Just because we don't talk as often and we don't get to see eachother as much as we would like.. doesn't mean that I'm not around and we aren't still friends. Because you will always be my best friends.. I love you all and I'll be home soon.

Xoxo,
Whitney


I don't know what I would do without....
