Hello everyone!
It's been awhile since I posted but it's been a busy last couple of weeks. Our InterVarsity intern and 3-month houseguest Sarah moved in with us last weekend. It's been a joy getting to know her and finding out that we both like musicals and like to randomly burst into song! Yeah! She likes kids, has an easygoing personality, is physically active, and seems like a good fit for our family. Tomorrow morning she's running in a 5K race and Sunday she's going to Chicago to watch a baseball game with the other interns. Tonight the five of us enjoyed pizza, Crazy Bread, fresh pineapple, and a board game. Allie quit before it was over, which is typical!
Isaac graduated from Kindergarten today. (There are still 6 1/2 school days left.) Shane and I went and heard his class sing a few songs. One was a tearjerker and yes, I cried. Shane videotaped the program. If I ever figure out how to get it on the computer, I'll put it on here so you can watch it. I also cried when it was Isaac's turn to get his diploma. This school year went so fast!
Tomorrow I go to cooking club all day. That's the club I'm in where I get together with 3 friends and we each take home 30 meals (that's 120 total divided between the four of us). We buy all the ingredients in bulk beforehand and split the cost. It usually comes to about $200 for those 30 meals. (Three each of 10 different recipes.) It's grueling but rewarding. We also have a lot of prepwork beforehand. This time I was assigned to cook and cube 9 lbs. of chicken, cut 6 lbs. of raw chicken into strips, pick up 36 steaks from the butcher and make room for them in my fridge, which is already full from storing 48 lbs. of chicken breasts. It's funny when you open our fridge because every square inch of space inside is packed! It's a minor inconvienence for all the easy freezer meals we'll get!
It's been an exhausting last couple of weeks and I'll be glad when it's Sunday and I have nothing pressing to do. A real Sabbath for me! What a concept! The weather is supposed to be nice and in the 70's this weekend and then it's supposed to rain a lot next week. Which reminds me, Isaac's first T-ball/Little League game is Tuesday. He's on the roster for playing catcher and pitcher. The last couple of practices haven't been as fun for him. Please pray for him not to be discouraged but that he would learn how to play and be part of a team and most of all, have fun in the process. Shane and I want this to be a positive learning experience for him.
That's all for now. Time for me to finish the dishes and then turn in early. Hello to our Indiana family! Hope you all are well! Keep in touch!
