Wednesday: joyful day

So yesterday at Bible Study Jess prayed that I would have a joyful day today (it hadn't gotten much better since last week) and it was! I got a nice e-mail from a co-worker, someone else was willing to do something without being cajoled, and other stuff was figured out.

After work we had a group "party" at a local bar/pizza place. That was a lot of fun too...it was nice to see people outside of work a bit.

Tuesday: chicken and rice soup

Ben and I went out to dinner before Bible Study and he ordered chicken and rice soup. It came, and I got a sip...yum. Well, then Ben found mushrooms in it so I got to eat it! Then Bible Study was prayer and game night, and we played a round of gestures. My favorite was the flamico dancer...we had had a ventriloquist a bit earlier so I thought it was this guy dancing and stomping with puppets (instead of castanets).

Monday: Happy Birthday Aaron

Today was Aaron's birthday! We had a small surprise party for him...Here are the surprise people hiding.

Sunday: happy spring?

It snowed today. Not really unexpected given that it is only March, but still a bit sad.

And what I know you've all been anxiously waiting for...the four basic quilt blocks and another Flurry pic.

Saturday: Welcome Spring party

We had a few friends over for a "Welcome Spring" party.

We grilled and had a picnic inside. Note the wild animal that visited us during our party.


It ended up being cool, but still nice enough to play our outdoor spring games. We played two games of croquet and some frisbee golf and a walk around the loop. Then we ended up having dinner (pizza) and playing Shadows over Camelot too. It was fun to be with them for such a significant part of the day...we haven't done that in a while.

So in Shadows we played with a traitor for the first time, and I was it. I was hoping I would get it, but didn't think I would. Anyway, it was rather stressful, pretending to be good but really being bad. Ben found me out near the end of the game, but the rest of the people didn't realize. And I was super close to being able to use the white cards against them, and possibly winning. Oh well, I guess it's good that the good guys won.

Friday: the week

Well, I realized that I hadn't posted in a while. Here's a quick synopsis...

Tuesday: work - blah. Small group party were all the boys hid in the half bath at one point and all the girls hid outside staring into a window.

Wednesday: work - blah.

Thursday: work - goodish. Ben and I went on a date to see Watchmen. It was...dark, but interesting. Could have been a little shorter.

Friday: work - blah. Hung out with Dusty. Laura is still busy at work. :(

Monday: quilt
