Mamoom's Moments: Death by Pasta Salad
http://mamoomsmoments.blogspot.com/2014/10/death-by-pasta-salad.html
Friday, October 3, 2014. Death by Pasta Salad. A couple of weeks ago Ron and I attended our ward's High Priest Social. The quorum would provide the meat and we were asked to sign up for either a salad or dessert. Ron is known for his scrumptiously delicious homemade ice cream. His latest specialty. When he spoke with the organizer of this yearly event though, he asked that we not bring a fresh fruit or healthy green salad- but a pasta salad. I've NEVER made a pasta salad in my life! Yes, I've been marrie...

Mamoom's Moments: When You Least Expect It
http://mamoomsmoments.blogspot.com/2009/09/when-you-least-expect-it.html
Sunday, September 20, 2009. When You Least Expect It. If it was a need, we would get it. If it was a want, we didn't. Last Christmas there was very little under the tree compared to previous years. We could not justify spending money we might need to live on later. For Mother's Day this year, Christie gave me Hilary Weeks CD, If I Only Had Today. Let me share with you part of the lyrics. The song is called, "When You Least Expect It.". I've quit counting the hours I've prayed for answers,. Subscribe to: ...

Mamoom's Moments: What Makes You Beautiful
http://mamoomsmoments.blogspot.com/2012/07/what-makes-you-beautiful.html
Saturday, July 7, 2012. What Makes You Beautiful. In just over a week, I'm heading off to Young Women camp. I went three years as a young women and this will be my 12th (and possible final year) as an adult. Young Women camp is a wonderful experience! Testimonies are developed and strengthened, friendships are deepened, and you can't help feel the love of our Heavenly Father as you enjoy the beautiful world He has created for us. If only we received more messages like this in our life. Two hundred and fi...

Mamoom's Moments: New!
http://mamoomsmoments.blogspot.com/2011/01/new.html
Monday, January 24, 2011. Ron and I attended a convert baptism Saturday afternoon for a 17 year old young man. His mother had been baptized three months earlier in the Central Valley. He attended her baptism and was so touched, that when he returned to the Bay Area where he lives with his father, he asked to meet with the missionaries. What happened next surprised all of us. Robert spontaneously got up and shared HIS testimony. Smiling broadly he said something like this:. I feel so good! I am sure I was...

Mamoom's Moments: First Jobs
http://mamoomsmoments.blogspot.com/2012/06/first-jobs.html
Wednesday, June 20, 2012. When I was 18 years old, Tom, a man in my ward told me about a job opening at the supermarket he worked at. He was a school teacher by day and supplemented his income by working as a cashier at night. I don't know how he did it. Loralee, the bakery department has an opening. Go and apply.". A few days later, Tom asked me how it went. I told him that there wasn't an opening. Oh, there's an opening. Go again. Tell the manager I sent you.". Emily is now 18 years old and she's had h...

Mamoom's Moments: Thank You for Being Jesus' Friend
http://mamoomsmoments.blogspot.com/2011/03/thank-you-for-being-jesus-friend.html
Friday, March 11, 2011. Thank You for Being Jesus' Friend. I have always heard that the temple is the House of the Lord," the teenager said, "But today was the first time that I could feel it was Heavenly Father's house." She paused and added, "Thank you," she gestured to the temple worker and those standing nearby, "for being Jesus' friend.". A few minutes later, I saw her mother alone. I greeted her and asked, "Is your daughter getting married today? She smiled and said yes. She agreed and then said, "...

Pretty Much Great: April 2010
http://prettymuchgreat.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 25, 2010. So, want to hear something funny that happened in church today? There's this guy in my ward who goes down to San Diego all the time on business or for fun. Since last September or so when he found out I'm from San Diego, he's been calling me "San Diego." He'll just be like "Hey San Diego, how's it going? It kind of reminds me of this game on a radio program I once heard, where they were like "What if you were named after the place where you were born? But I have managed, so far, t...

Pretty Much Great: March 2010
http://prettymuchgreat.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 21, 2010. The operative word is "Spring". I sometimes wish I had more interesting things to tell. This week was Spring Break, but I decided to work this week instead of actually taking a break, in order to prepare for upcoming unemploymentness. Which isn't a word. I went to my sister's house last weekend and spent some time with her and my brother-in-law, and my oh-so-adorable-and-brilliant nephew, as seen here:. This is some of what we do when Mom and Dad are gone). View my complete profile.

Pretty Much Great: May 2010
http://prettymuchgreat.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 01, 2010. I reveled during the previews that I wasn't the only person in the world who liked movies/documentaries like this. Then the movie started. A small pair of feet wearing little kid pajamas scurried across a hard wood floor. Then little children were suddenly attacking Tina Fey and Steve Carell. What the? Instead I said "How far into the movie is it? Still, what kind of movie theater doesn't tell you which theater to go into? For example, right now my roommates are out in the front r...

Pretty Much Great: I don't care what people say...
http://prettymuchgreat.blogspot.com/2010/12/i-dont-care-what-people-say.html
Friday, December 10, 2010. I don't care what people say. I don't care what people say. The new Narnia movie is great. I have yet to draw up the energy to see the new Harry Potter. Frozen peas are good. Eating them frozen is like having a treat. No pain, no gain might be true. But yes pain, yes gain is definitely true. Weird looking ornaments you made with macaroni noodles when you were little will always look better than the fancy store-bought ones. The Sorcerer's Apprentice is also awesome. Ive seen hp7...
