friends... we don't have internet at our house. we mooch off of someone either very close or with a strong signal. at any rate, either they haven't been home or they didn't pay their bill (perhaps we should help out)!
therefore, i haven't had access to my blog, so Nablopomo has been on hold for the time being. Lucky you, though, I'm at Starbucks using someone else's un-secure network to do so!
Since Thursday:
I sat at the beach with my mom and eva, collecting shells, watching dolphins, and chasing said little girl! I saw my older brother, for the first time in months (since he was in Jerusalem for the summer, consequently missing our wedding). Overall, it was wonderful.
If this seems rushed, it is.
Friday I flew home and went to work for ten hours, with a meeting before my shift and then the shift itself... a lot of work... semi-tiresome... and nothing around the house.
Saturday we went to try to get free tickets to the bengals game, taking advantage of husband's veteran status and kroger's free offer. well, when we got there, they said that they already had 50 people, took their names, and just told them to come back at 1pm, when the tickets were to be given away to get theirs. so... kroger gave us a $10 gift card despite all of that! bummer! but, i also made $5 off of Target (buying laundry detergent)... so, $15 for nothing isn't too bad!!
Sunday, was church where pastor spoke on having a spirit of pride... in a bad way! and how we can overcome it... very moving. then sunday school with our little ones, 26 that day, and a cowboy theme talking about honesty... we love it!!
Then, we hung out at starbucks, playing the old married couple game where we drink our coffee and read the paper! and afterward we went back to church so that we could attend a meeting on a mission trip to china. i would love to go, but i think mom may be in alaska for the summer and i don't feel like leaving eva with anyone for any length of time, let alone two weeks. so... i cried.
we also made some delicious food and served a family that means so much to us. the father of this family is being healed of lymphoma, by god's grace, so that god is glorified... so we made them a wonderful meal: sugar snap peas and shrimp casserole (from scratch), guacamole (from scratch) with chips (chips that we didn't make), and an apple crisp (also from scratch)... we were so blessed doing this!
and that, my friends is the long and short of it... in the shortest version possible.
ps... i can't wait to play christmas music... but i demand that it waits until i celebrate thanksgiving!!
