Naidu Wifey

So part of being married to a Naidu is that I have to eat as well as cook like a Naidu. Today was my first attempt at making Chicken Curry for dinner and Kheer for dessert. I had no recipe to look at, all I had was what I could remember from my mother-in-law teaching me when she cooked once and also really good tips I learned from Anant's cousin Tina, plus a lot of improvisation. We had the in-laws over for dinner to celebrate and bless our new apartment. Yes, we moved this past week, I forgot to post something about it because it all kind of happened so quickly, but my next post will be about the new place. Anyways, I was very happy to know that the in-laws gave it a thumbs up for my first try. Anant gave me a "B" as my Curry Grade, which is not to shabby. I'm going to continue perfecting my curry skills until that B turns to an A+!

Bam! Chicken Curry and Kheer, I'm turning into quite the Indian Wifey:)

General Conference October 2013

I always love watching General Conference, it always puts me in a good mood and gives me such a spiritual high. All the speakers had something to say that I needed to hear and should definitely work on. One of the things that stuck with me was a talk about getting into "spiritual shape." I recently started getting back into physical shape and after hearing this talk, I realized that getting into spiritual shape was more important. Here are a list of exercises that we already do, but I felt we could work on as a couple:

  • Daily Prayer 
  • Daily Scripture Reading
  • Family Home Evening
  • Attending the Temple
  • Magnifying our Callings
  • Service
  • Fasting
  • Paying Tithing
