Last Baby Cecil Update- 38 Weeks
Nothing fits anymore, I am a little bit on edge and grouchy, and I am ready for this little one. While Eric was at the priesthood session on Saturday night, I went and decided that I would get pampered. It was so nice and much needed. Next time I go have my toes done, I will have my little girl with me. We have also been working on her nursery. It isn't quite done yet but it is getting there. I am just hoping that her rocking chair will be here before she is born because we are going to want that thing. I am waiting for my mom to come to help me try and finish it up. We are loving her paint, her bed, and her little Pottery Barn rocking unicorn. Eric jokes that it is the most expensive toy she will ever have. ;)
We are so so close! I am being taught LOTS of patience and trying to enjoy this time of having this little girl in my tummy for the last couple days. Hopefully today is the day baby girl decides that she is ready to come out and meet her mommy and daddy.

October Means...
Halloween/ Fall Decorations and Bath and Body Works Pumpkin Candles
Halloween Candy
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies and anything else Pumpkin flavored
And...
Chocolate Caramel Cookies
My mom and sisters have been making these cookies for the past little while and when I was in Utah, they were making them for a missionary farewell and I was able to try one. These are some dang good cookies! Since I have been back from Utah, I have made them for a get together when some ladies from church got together to watch the General Women's broadcast, for the ladies that I visit teach, and for the conference exchange with my friends that I talked about here. These have been a major hit every where I have taken them. I now keep all of the stuff in my pantry so when I need a quick and easy treat that is yummy, I am prepared.
Chocolate Caramel Cookies
Heat oven to 350°
Mix together:
1 box Pillsbury Devils Food Cake Mix
(Make sure you use Pillsbury)
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
Mix this all together. The dough will be pretty thick and sticky.
You will then need to buy a bag of Rolo's (about 1/2 bag per recipe)
Form a ball of cookie dough just a little bit bigger than the rolo around it.
Bake them for 8 minutes. This recipe will make about 3 dozen or so. After they have cooled off, sprinkle powdered sugar on the top of them. Enjoy!!

General Conference- October 2015
This conference weekend is especially special to Eric and I. We are welcoming our little girl into our family in 2 weeks and that is all that we can think about. We are so excited for parenthood and the joy that our little girl is going to bring into our lives. It is so crazy to think that next time we have general conference our little girl will be almost 6 months. This conference weekend is also special to us because Eric was ordained a high priest today. Two weeks ago, Eric got a phone call from the stake and they asked to meet with both Eric and I the next morning. We have only been in our ward for almost 3 months and we hardly know anyone. Eric and I were so confused about what it could be. They asked Eric to serve as the 2nd counselor in the bishopric in our ward. Eric and I were both a little bit in shock. Eric accepted the call and I gladly said that I would support him 100%. Eric was sustained last Sunday and then he was ordained and set apart today. His dad flew down from West Virginia to ordain Eric a high priest. This was so special for Eric and I. As hard as it may be to not be able to sit with Eric in sacrament meeting, not have him during the week some nights, and on sunday mornings and afternoons, I am so thankful for a husband that takes his callings so serious and Harper and I will support him 100%. I know that he is going to do an incredible job in his new calling.

This picture is of Eric and his dad, the bishop that Eric gets the opportunity to work with, and a member of the Stake presidency. I am so excited for Eric and for the things that he is going to be able to experience and learn from serving in this calling. Of course, conference was great today and the talk that stuck out to me the most was the talk by Elder Jeffery R. Holland on Mothers. Every little thing about mothers is striking close to home right now. I feel so blessed to be able to be a mother to my sweet little Harper so soon. She has already brought so much joy into our lives. Any day now little one!
