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.

The journey of my new smile...

I felt like blogging about the journey of getting my new smile. Oh boy! It sure has been a long, painful, and exciting process. In May of  2000 I was riding my bike, like a big girl (I was 8) with a bunch of my siblings and cousins, to my grandma's church (which was just down the street from where she lives. Staying on the side of the road as instructed, there was a man hole cover that was not pushed down all the way. Being toward the back of the bike line I didn't notice that it was up about three or so inches. Everyone else had dodged it and went around it. I, going full speed to keep up went straight over it and flipped over my bike handle bar, bike still in hand I landed on my stomach. I got up, a little dizzy and discombobulated got up thinking that was pretty sweet that I survived that epic crash. I didn't know how bad it was until my sister Kelsey started screaming "Kacey! Kacey! You have blood running down your face!" I immediately put my hand to my face a...

Personal Thought: A simple prayer answered

I had an experience a few weeks ago that helped me realize the power of prayer. This is kind of personal (not kind of... it is very personal), but I wanted to share it and maybe someone could benefit from it. For a while I have had abnormal bleeding (for long periods of time), not thinking really anything of it, I ignored it for months actually. At times it would be pretty painful, took some IB Profin, and I ignored it. I was talking to someone who said that with the IUD that I had, that bleeding that bad was not normal. Again, I didn't think anything of it. Spencer and I have been talking about our future family and this came up in conversation. Spencer is not as excited about starting our family this young but I am all over it. I was surprised when he asked me to go get it checked out, because something could be wrong. It took for me to hear him say that to go schedule an appointment. Of course I looked online of what it could possibly be and then I got nervous. I had be...
