YAY SNOW!!! Sounds like fun!

I have spring break coming up and what else.... Oh yeah! My doggo had 11 puppers. Echo, Moe, Louis, Leia, Walter, Diggs, Jane, Skywalker, Muffin (biggest boy), Joy, and Beamer. My sisters named all but the first 3 and the last 2. Yes, they named them after StarWars. And Diggs the football player. They are weird just like me. :D

Wow, I haven't updated y'all in a while.. Where to start.. :-k

Well sadly I'm still working as a tire tech.. I'm hoping to rectify the situation before Thanksgiving though.

My family in Kansas moved out of my childhood home last week. I was there to visit last month and brought back the rest of my belongings that I had left there.

I am getting ready to do further studying in IT work via some video courses that I purchased as well as working towards a couple of certifications through Microsoft. Once I do those I should be a much more valuable employee!

I also will be starting a Greek class this Wednesday. It's at the Bible school I went to 4 years ago. They started a second year program which has a Greek class. If I get an opportunity in the future I would like to take the second year, unfortunately I can't at this point. However they are letting me take the Greek class for which I'm grateful. The benefits are twofold, for 1 I gain valuable knowledge for Bible study; and 2 they're going to start doing Greek both years, so if I didn't join in this year, I would be behind if I ever took the 2nd year program.

That's awesome, Nate! :D You must be very excited.

I had a really busy week and ended up running errands every day after work, which always takes way longer than it seems like it should. It was an okay week, just busy.

This topic has been neglected too long. :noway:

I took a cooking class a couple of weeks ago, and we made Normandy Chicken (w/ French apple brandy and an apple reduction), green beans wrapped in bacon, an autumn salad with lavender dressing, and a clafoutis cake with Michigan sour cherries. It was quite possibly the best meal I have ever eaten. :thud:

My phone was dying, so I didn’t get good pictures, but this is what the chicken and green beans looked like:

Oh my, you sound like quite the gourmet! It both sounds and looks very fancy. :yes: (And by that I mean more work that I will ever put into a meal.) ;)

I got to talk to my sister and my little niece on the phone today, which was fun! My niece likes to hold the phone and talk, even though "yeah" is the only clear word that comes out. She was cheerful and happy to tell me...something...(deep, meaningful stuff, I'm sure), so that made me happy.

I had my third baby 2 weeks ago. So...not much sleep in my life lately.

But Dr. Watson came to see me for Thanksgiving, so that's a plus. \:D/

That's so exciting! Congratulations, Laura (and Manly)! What a wonderful blessing. I'm glad that Dr. Watson was able to visit and (hopefully) help out! :D

Heh.. I haven't updated y'all in a while..
So I am about two weeks from completing the first semester of the aforementioned Greek class...as well as the other classes.. The first week of Greek class I was approached by the president of the school (a close friend as well as an elder at my church). He asked me to consider and pray about taking the second year program this year. I went home, prayed about it, did some math, talked to my boss, and ended up deciding to do it. So now I'm at school from 9:30-4:00 Mon-Tues and Thurs, Wednesday is either a study day or outreach day, and I work all day Friday and Saturday. We'll see what the future holds as I am hoping to get a different part-time job that will allow me to work in the evenings and allow me more time to study during the weekends. If y'all could pray for the Lord's will in that I would much appreciate it!

I've had a cold the last week, which hasn't been much fun. I've had time off work for some of those days, which has been helpful, but I'm at that point where I am totally tired of coughing, cold meds, cough drops, and waking up in the night having to cough even more.

Other than that, life has been pretty decent! If that's the biggest thing I have to complain about, life isn't too bad. ;)

Feeling for you on that cold, Catspaw! :hug: I've been experiencing some similar symptons, but not quite to that degree.
