Friday: Good Friday

Jesus wept and pleaded with his Father to not have to endure the pain of the cross. Reading between the lines, I think he was scared. But yet he went through torture for me.

While I'm incredibly glad that he went through with it, I'm also glad that he didn't want to. There are things that I'm scared of, but if I have to go through them I can rely on the strength of Jesus.

Thursday: this and that

Let's see...today I did some random things. I helped one of Ben's aunts move a little bit of stuff to her new house. Most of the moving is happening on Saturday though. It's a very cute house...and it's older, so it has all these random things in it that might it fun. Cheryl and I put together a shelving unit. It made me feel like an engineer again. Especially since we had a few problems (why does pre-built furniture never seem to go together as easily as it should).

Then Cheryl and I went grocery shopping. We almost didn't go since there was nothing urgent that we needed, but we also realized that the store was probably just going to get busier and busier as the weekend went on. Needless to say, it was still rather busy for a Thursday afternoon.

Then I took a nap. I've been trying to not take naps this week because then I have a hard time falling asleep, but staying awake didn't seem to be much of an option. I made Flurry take a nap with me by sitting in her favorite chair.

Wednesday: easy day

Today was a rather easy day.

I started the morning by making donuts. I made them because last weekend I really wanted some but didn't have any frozen batter. So now I have some frozen batter. And I had some donuts!

I did a little cleaning and made a few phone calls, but there was nothing huge on my list that needed to be done. So I finished my book and did some quilting. Oh! I also talked with Jess a little bit over the computer but her computer overheated so it was rather short.

Tuesday: r-ball

Dad and I played racquetball today. We both won one game. Then he came over for dinner, and it was nice to see him.

Besides that, not much happened today. We just had our first thunderstorm which is cool.

edit: I wrote this yesterday but clicked the wrong button so it just saved and didn't post.

Monday: a tour

This is what I woke up to this morning. At least it was nice enough to stay off the driveway.

I also finished unpacking the last few things upstairs, so I thought I'd put up a few more pictures.

bathroom

second bedroom (it has some of Ben's clothes, but besides that we don't use it. Flurry tries her hardest to make us keep the door open though.)

Bedroom

Bedroom from another angle

office/bookshelf area (although we don't use it for an office)

It actually ended up being a rather busy day. I started to contact some people about mowing our lawn in NY (which felt really odd with snow on the ground here). Ben and I had lunch with someone we went to college with. I got a new library card. I tried to send some packages, but this post office won't tape my packages shut. I did manage to run into someone else I went to college with, so that was fun. Then I bought groceries. I realized half way through that I was getting rather cranky, but luckily there was no one for me to be cranky towards. Then I had dinner with some family.

I'll leave you with this thought that I thought when I needed to wait for about 10 minutes and realized that I had left my iPad downstairs. "I'll read! What a novel idea."

Sunday: a profound thought

Are pet fish really pets since you don't pet them?

edit: I added the following picture for Ashley. I did once have someone ask me if we

always wore wooden shoes.

Saturday: lights

Ben's parents came over today to see where we are living. While they were here we managed to figure out what the light switch that seemed to do nothing does, find the third electrical circuit in the basement, and figure out how to turn on the lights under the cabinets in the kitchen.

One of them must have plugged in the cabinet lights without us watching, because it took us a while to figure out how they got turned on. I kept flipping light switches with no luck. Then as I was getting dinner ready I just happened to notice a plug that was plugged in and wondered if that's why they were on. Phew.
