Utterly declious peanut-butter bars!!!

Friday... After work, I decided to go to the Temple, since the Draper Temple is closed for cleaning, I went to the Jordan River Temple, I had an amazing experience. When I was done getting confirmed, one of the witnesses asked me, "What did you say your last name was?" "Kevern" "Who is your grandpa?" "Eugene Kevern..." "You need to come with me." By this point I was a little confused and couldn't understand what was going on, I thought I was in trouble, so I just followed this little old man to the front window where you check in and fill out your name tag. " He opened the door and said, "Madlyn, guess who I have found! Your cousin Eugene's granddaughter!" This small lady with silvery hair beamed when she heard my grandpa's name. I then  found out that I was related to this amazing couple, I started smiling and laughing at the situation. We visited for a while, then I went to do baptisms, I could feel the spirit so strong. I went in with a few questions, hoping for some peace and guidance, even though I might not have received my answers, I felt so much comfort and joy when I met some of my long lost relatives. As I left, my grandpa's cousin was still sitting in her big comfortable chair, still with a smile on her face. Walking up the stairs to leave she called my name and said "Sister Kevern, please come back every Friday night I work here those nights, it was my pleasure to meet you, and tell your grandparents I said hello!" Wow! I was totally touched by her sweet and tender actions toward me.
Anyway, I couldn't help but share that story! After I came home I was really bored and finally decided what to do... I made these wonderful peanut butter bars. They may be bad for you but I don't care, they melted in my mouth! I would like to share this recipe! For those of you on the gluten free diet, the only thing you need to replace is the flour. Enjoy!

CRUST:
1/2 CUP SOFT BUTTER (1 STICK)
1/2 CUP SMOOTH PEANUT BUTTER
1 1/2 CUP GRANULATED SUGAR
1/2 TSP. VANILLA
1 1/2 CUP FLOUR

FILLING:
2 EGGS
2 TBSP. PEANUT BUTTER
1/2 CUP GRANULATED SUGAR
1/2 CUP BROWN SUGAR

PRE-HEAT OVEN TO 375
CRUST: MIX BUTTER, PEANUT BUTTER, AND SUGAR UNTIL WELL BLENDED. STIR IN VANILLA. ADD FLOUR AND MIX WELL (MIXTURE WILL BE CRUMBLY). TAKE ONE CUP OF MIXTURE FOR TOPPING. FIRMLY PRESS REMAINING MIXTURE INTO BOTTOM OF GREASED 9X13 BAKING DISH.
FILLING: BEAT EGGS, PEANUT BUTTER, SUGAR, BROWN SUGAR TOGETHER. SPREAD OVER UNBAKED CRUST. SPRINKLE WITH REMAINING  CRUST MIXTURE. BAKE FOR 20-23 MIN OR UNTIL SET. THEN LET COOL AND CUT INTO BARS. DO NOT BAKE OVER 30 MIN, THE CRUST WILL BECOME TOO HARD.
These are seriously to die for! I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

What being in college has taught me

I know I have been terrible at writing on my blog the past couple of months. School has engulfed my attention and honestly blogging has been the last on my priority list. I wanted to write blog about my college experience... since I graduate in 53 days. I am thrilled beyond words to be this close to being done. I had know idea it would feel like this nor that it would come so soon. In just a few short months I will be able to call myself a graduate of Health Promotion and Education with an emphasis in Community, also being eligible to become CHES (Certified Health Education Specialist) certified. Wow what a mouthful! Being in college was not like I expected, it was much more. I have been through the worst of worst and the best of best experiences. I would like to share with you what I have learned in the past four years (From beginning to end), I hope you can get a good laugh about it. To those who have yet to start college, I strongly encourage you to start thinking about going. You w...

One of my favorite walls

There have been times that I come home from work or other places, exhausted, frustrated, and uneasy. I have always been a home body and love the comfort I get when inside. When I was preparing to move out when I got married I dreamed of decorating my own place, of hanging my own pictures, of designing the way my furniture was set up. Since I have been married almost one year, I never realized that I have one wall in particular I love to look at. It is in my bedroom, the wall opposite of where our bed sits. I see this wall as I wake up, go to sleep, start and end my day. It's not that big of a deal, and it's actually quite bare, but there are 3 things on there that I love. The first thing is a picture of my husband and I (one that I put together with the lyrics to our first dance), on our wedding day, dancing to our song, "Breathe" by Angels and Airwaves. This picture brings back the giddy feeling of being in a room full of people and the only person I had any knowl...

LIFE.

Hello friends and family! It has been so long since I have posted. Let me tell ya, mama hood takes a lot of time, which I am so grateful for. However, I had a spare minute (literally, Evie is napping right now) where I wasn't doing anything. Which quite honestly is very rare . I don't even know where to start on updates. So bare with me as this literally might be word vomit with no sense of order. First and foremost, we are HOME OWNERS! It was quite the whirlwind getting moved and settled in, but after about a month of rearranging, organizing, getting new things, our house is now a home. Going from a small two bedroom duplex to a 4 bedroom+living room+big kitchen+office+basement+3 bathrooms, we had to do some splurging. We will probably have empty rooms for a while, but sometimes it's nice to go sit in those empty rooms and escape the piles of things that are starting to appear. I still have lots to do, but I going to be ambitious and build (with my Dad and probably  Gran...
