We went to the branch at Filovskoye Park...don't know how to spell these not in Cyrillic). I was there in 93 from the spring to December. We left the day of the election..by order of the embassy!!! They split the Moscow mission while I was there and opened the city of Ekaterenburg while I was there. Did you have President Chapman? We need to talk. I only remember that I knew an Elder Quigley (tall, red hair) and an Elder Benson (short w/ blonde hair). There was also a sister Harrop, I think? Her name is Darrah. I was with the second group of English teachers that came over to work in the Dietsky Sod's..... again...not sure how to spell it in English. WOW!!!!! Were you in Moscow?Bekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02421106490759593190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12830417.post-1159202357501153082006-09-25T09:39:00.000-07:002006-09-25T09:39:00.000-07:00Alright, I'm coming!!

That's cool that you got to bless them both before it was finalized. Cool bishop. We had to wait with both of ours. Yeah, I served in Moscow from 93-94. Yeah, we are twins or something. Didn't I hear you say you were tall too? I am 6 feet tall. So random, and cool!! :) Where did you live in Russia, I am assuming Moscow- lol!!Sydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13768235150017048781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12830417.post-1159202180386644962006-09-25T09:36:00.000-07:002006-09-25T09:36:00.000-07:00I'm with you Beks, how can you be sure it will tas...I'm with you Beks, how can you be sure it will taste good unless you do it? <BR/><BR/>I bet it was fun...Carinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13859567470814286102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12830417.post-1159164394583911682006-09-24T23:06:00.000-07:002006-09-24T23:06:00.000-07:00ARE YOU COOKING ALL OF THAT?!?

For some reason, in Utah the bishops don't let you bless until it is final. Basically, our bishop felt that since it is a blessing and not an ordinance then it was fine. We blessed Jacob before we finalized too. I think it is open to whatever the bishop wants and ours decided that this was ok. <BR/><BR/>We finalize in February.

YUM!<BR/><BR/>Tell us about the blessing, and pictures too!<BR/><BR/>Wait a minute -- is the adoption finalized? I thought you could not bless the baby until it was finalized.

And the pumpkin pie didn't set up.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I am making all of it...but I am just crazy like that. I LOVE to cook. It is a great relaxer for me (just don't ask me to garden...THAT gets my blood pressure going........). Much of it can be made ahead of time and all the chopping is done in advance. Easy peasy. In fact, all I have left to do today is a few little things and clean up the house (again). <BR/><BR/>mandy...I am sorry I never sent recipies....thanks for the reminder. I am not a DUMB person but I am a bit of spacy person. I will type up the recipies and put them on the recipe blog that I have..then you can always have them. I got most of these from the May 2006 Bon Appetite (Caribbean edition) and a few really good Caribbean cookbooks).<BR/><BR/>Emily...have a baby!!<BR/><BR/>Julie...love the updates, how was the sealing....<BR/><BR/>Tracy...brink the monkeys over and we can play......Bekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02421106490759593190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12830417.post-1159111139019345102006-09-24T08:18:00.000-07:002006-09-24T08:18:00.000-07:00I am stunned that you are makng all that.
