Wow! First off you all should watch the documentary film called Google Me. Paul and I watched it about seven months ago and I forgot about it until I typed in the title for this post. Anyway, I google my name every once in awhile just to see what is out there in the world wide web. I know pretentious aren't I. I normally don't find much, thankfully, but this time I did. It was a site my sister Jacquelynn set up for me when I went on a mission. The site was so that everyone in my family could post pictures so I could keep up with the family. One of the first pictures was this one. It was September 5th, 2005. I know I am getting old. Not the point so back to my story. Jacquelynn and Jeff were living in Hawaii when I went into the M.T.C. so they surprised me and came to the airport super early to see me fly out to my temporary mission in California until I got my visa to go to Spain. It was awesome and seriously pushed me to work hard. I loved this picture cause you can tell Jacks and I were way excited but that Jeff was a bit irritated that he had to wake up around 5 a.m. to see me. As I looked through all the pictures I started to tear up. I am so lame. I saw all the things I missed. My best friend having her first baby, Jacks getting pregnant and having Anna, Sydney, Chase, and Alexis' baptisms, Mason being born, and so much more. Then I started to cry as I thought of all things I saw, learned, and experienced during that time that I missed. And I wouldn't change it for the world. I loved my mission and my family was here waiting for me when I got home. VIVA ESPANA! Wednesday, August 18, 2010

Banana Grahams...the best treat ever!
The best treat ever is this super amazing Banana Graham that my brilliant sister Jacquelynn created. As you all know Jacks is a "healthy cook, cooker" and while Paul and I were visiting last week she shared her awesomeness with us. This picture is as close as I could get to the divine ecstasy that we experienced. It will have to do but doesn't even capture the greatness of the Banana Grahams. First cut up banana's into about one inch slices. Then melt chocolate down. What type of chocolate you prefer. I personally love milk chocolate . Then choose your toppings. Chopped nuts, graham cracker crumbs, coconut, whatever you like. If you are super adventures mix them all. WOW! Once chocolate is melted cover banana in chocolate then roll in whatever topping you decide. Put on a cookie sheet with wax paper and put in the freezer. I personally thought they were best half frozen but either way is fine. I am sooooo thankful for my super creative sister cause Paul and I heart these delicious snackers. XOXO Love you Jackers!Dianna Elizabeth Balbastro...
In the world ... nothing cause there is someone out there who is always better than you. Let's be honest.
