Cressida

I'm really thankful for our "new" car, especially since Nate has the Taurus with him in Athens. Usually, we don't need 2 cars, but today I have to go to a meeting at central office and to Carrollton for class at UWG.

Here is a picture of the wonderful little car that makes all of this possible.

Meeting

Today is the first Health Services Advisory Committee meeting! I get to leave summer school at 10 so I can go talk about immunizations. I'm really looking forward to the end of the meeting when I can suggest we spend next meeting talking about sex education.

Last Day

Today is the last day to cram information into the brains of the summer school students. They take the math CRCT tomorrow.

Celebrations Continue

First I shaved Nate's hair into a mohawk. Then we went out to dinner at Peking. Finally, we met a really nice tattoo artist and Nate got his first (and second) tattoo. The tattoo guy was so nice, I'm going back next week to get mine.

The End

Nate ended his radio career today. I'm really excited about spending the summer off together before he goes to seminary in the fall. Peking for dinner to celebrate!

Clothesline- With Picture

I feel like it's ok that I'm expressing my love for my clothesline again since I'm including a picture this time. Don't you think it looks so peaceful?

DASH Camp, Take 2

We only had 2 kids for camp today. That was until about 15 minutes before we left when one more showed up. We were walking him home and came across 6 more kids who were actually on their way to us (even though camp was technically over). So we had a snack and made pinwheels with them and it feels like this week was very successful! Who knows, we might even have 10 kids all at once next week!

CROCHET!

I've been spending a lot of time on this site. If you crochet, you should check this out. It's incredible! I'm going to crochet everything!

Sore

It hurts to move my legs. Even the arches of my feet hurt. I am very sore from my first run of the season.

Nursery

After 3 nights of VBS, Nate and I have nursery duty today.

Success

Tonight was the last night of VBS and I think that by all accounts it was a huge success. God is good!

Saturday

I slept in until 9:00.
I went for a brief run.
I tried to clean the rust off my bike. Tip to use Coke and steel wool was a bust.
I repotted a plant.
I gave myself a hair cut.
I adjusted our auto withdrawls to reflect our new one-income situation.
I'm going to spend the rest of the day doing some light housekeeping, reading, crocheting, and maybe watching a movie.

Fridge

Of all the things I could have been doing with the last half hour (see To Do List in picture), I spent it rearranging the magnets, notes, invitations, pictures, and white boards on the refrigerator.

And yes, this is the second time I've posted a picture of a refrigerator in the past month.

The Dollar Stretcher

When you don't have much money, you have to be careful with how you spend it, which is why I love this website. In addition to tips on how to live frugally, it generally has good advice and information. This is where I got the slug cure for my garden (beer) and where I just found out that a rubber glove works wonders at picking cat hair off the couch!

AC

We had to turn on the AC yesterday afternoon and it looks like we'll have to again today. We opened up the windows at night, but it only got down to 79 degrees inside the house!

VBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am positively filled with JOY! We had 20 kids at VBS- even some from the neighborhood! It was amazing! Praise God!

VBS

Tonight is the first night of VBS, something our church hasn't had in about a dozen years. I really, really hope it goes well. Please pray for us.

Anniversary Present

My anniversary present from Nate got lost in the mail, but it finally came in today. DR HORRIBLE'S SING ALONG BLOG DVD!!! I'm really enjoying Commentary... The Musical!

Working Backwards

I'm trying to make up a bunch of math problems (solving linear systems), only I need the answers to be small integers so this is taking a lot longer than I thought it would.  I have to think of the answer I want and then work backwards to make the equations. 

Breakfast

I made cinnamon rolls for breakfast because my little brother spent the night at our house.

Winners

We played trivia tonight and won 3rd place! Everyone got the last question wrong, so we won with only 4 points. Oh well, a win is a win.

Psychology

I am reading 90 pages of psychology and writing a 3 page response. This stinks.

Searching

One of my classes this semester is Practicum. Basically, I compile all the stuff I've done and prepare for my oral exams. I thought I'd been pretty meticulous about saving things, but I can't find this one document anywhere. At this point, I could have already redone it for all the time I've spent searching My Documents.

mewithoutyou

Really enjoyed the concert last night.  Thankfully not too tired from 2 late nights in a row.  No time for a nap today.  Big project to begin and complete this afternoon.  Hopefully the textbook gets delivered today so I can get it done.

Mosquito Bites

I have some nasty mosquito bites that are made even more nasty by the fact that I've scratched them... a lot. I wish I had more self-control.
